Hello folks - I would like to ask for help in a matter that is causing some grief.

I sold two items on ebay, and unfortunately mixed up the packages when I sent them to the buyers.  One customer was really pleasant about it, the other really nasty, and continues to be.

I immediately offered a full refund on return of the items.  One customer sent the item back and I gave a full refund plus the cost of return postage of £3.00. 

The other customer decided for whatever reason to send the item back to me by 'signed for' costing £3.70.  The item cost was below £10.00.

Do you think I should refund £3.00, or £3.70?

Any advice greatfully received - help!

Buyers are always told by ebay to send things back signed for, so it is a perfectly reasonable thing for them to do. You should refund the whole amount.
