Paypal always used to refund their fees at the same time as the refund was sent however they have recently changed that policy. This means that the owner has to refund the equivalent of the Paypal fees themselves.

If your deposit was stated to be refundable then the owner should be reimbursing you for the entire amount and taking the hit on the fees themselves.

Since this change has only happened it may be that some are not aware that when they refund the fees will be withheld.
