lol couldn't possibly be worse advice in this thread. 100% do not listen to this and NEVER refund the transfer

FDSGSG is absolutely correct. He should have immediately processed a refund on the $600 as soon as he saw the transaction. By not doing so he risked getting a chargeback and loosing not only the $600 but an additional $10 PayPal chargeback fee.

There is no risk of OP loosing $1,200 to two refunds if he went through the proper refund procedure. A transfer can only ever be refunded once.

Why not?

The only way I see this going wrong is if instead of doing a refund you create a new transfer to send the money back, but you obviously shouldn't do that.

ah sorry I always equate PayPal to venmo - there might be a valid way to refund on PayPal but certainly not venmo
