The only things the screen shots show was that you received a payment from Emily on 2/24/11 for $300.00
That you refunded only $60.00 the same day. In response, a paypal complaint was launched the same day which put a hold on the transaction for $300.00
The next day on 2/25/11 you sent $229.00 for a total of $289.99.
At this point, all it shows is the transaction is yet resolved. She hasn't received all her funds and nobody has closed the initial investigation. She hasn't received any extra funds, it's just still being held because you and the buyer didn't close out the initial investigation.
You can simply state that you refunded the buyer to PayPal except for stealing $11.00 from her. The buyer can state she is satisfied that her original complaint has been settled. Or she can dispute she is still out the $11.00 and you will have to wait to PayPal decides.
You didn't send anything and have no tracking number to her so you will be hard-pressed to prove that she received something for that $11.00
It all depends on how you issued the refund. If you simply just sent the funds back to her email address or you clicked the refund button. If you just simply sent the money back, PayPal doesn't automatically know its for the contested amount. It's the same as sending her a payment and she is out fees for receiving that money. That's what it looks like to me. Either way your buyer did nothing wrong. All you have to do is explain to paypal you sent the money back to her the wrong way.
She did nothing wrong. She hasn't received any extra funds at this point and probably has incurred more fees to loss of her total refund.
Yes, I'm correct. the first screen shot states "Payment too". It doesn't do that for a refund. You sent a payment to her instead of a refund in the correct manner. So, your buyer was charged fees for receiving her funds back. Way to go!

Maybe I just need a hug.
