I’m sharing my experience so other sellers know what to expect.
eBay is demanding €432 from me for a refund I already issued to the customer.
The customer received the item and their money.
Even so, eBay keeps trying to charge me the amount.
It’s a completely abusive practice.
It’s been more than two months and I’m still waiting for a real response.
No human support.
Just silence and automated messages that answer nothing.
I’m being treated as if I were supposed to accept an obvious mistake without asking questions.
I refuse to pay for a mistake that isn’t mine.
Next Monday, I’m permanently closing my eBay account.
And I’ll share this story everywhere so sellers know how eBay handles its mistakes: by ignoring people and trying to recover money that isn’t owed to them.
Sellers deserve better than this.

Same problem here--------->
Payment of €255 already made but balance still owing | Community Mentors Help | eBay France
There aren't many options besides filing a complaint if Customer Service does nothing.
Kind regards
