I'm not sure how the determination is made about who is responsible for the cost. But, I would make sure that the seller was actually charged for the refund before paying them the money. There's a possibility that they might be double dipping :jimlad:. If the money was taken from the seller, then the Ebay policy would be to do it through them (so that they can take their cut). But, Paypaling the seller directly would probably be less headache.[/QUOTE]
