Do You Get Charged for Refunding on Paypal?

When you issue a full refund via the transaction page, PayPal refunds you the 2.9 percent fee, but not the 30-cent fee. Taking the $30 sample order from the previous section, if you issue a full refund PayPal will return 87 cents of the original $1.17 fee.

What happens if I issue a refund on PayPal?

You can send a full or partial refund. When you issue a full refund, your original transaction fee is credited back to you minus a thirty cent processing fee. When issuing partial refunds, a portion of the fee is returned to you. It's easy.

Do you get charged for refunds?

Some credit card processors will refund the processing fees, but charge you a flat-rate fee for returns. This could be as little as $0.05 or $0.10. These fees might not necessarily appear on your transaction as a “credit card refund fee.” But you may not be getting your processing fees back.
