Buyer refund request when item match description

Hi. I sold some Nike trainers. Clearly listing in 2 places that one of the side might have a leak in the sole bubble. With photos. The buyer left a good feedback. But now after wear, buyer complains they are unwearable and asks for refund. I say I could give some discount as good will. but really, do I have to? And could that go through automated refund request? Then do I still pay the seller and Paypal fees? Thanks

Once a case is opened, the money is frozen and only a full refund can be made.

 

No fees are refunded for a partial refund, and only ebay selling fee is refunded if you make a full refund THROUGH a case, paypal fees are never refunded.

 

 All refunds must be made through a case otherwise you still pay ebay fees  and you get a Defect on your selling account.
