I wouldn't accept this on principal.

But would you bother opening a case, presenting the information, waiting the updates, sending screenshots/details or transactions etc etc - for less than a £1 ??

I agree in principal it's not right, but in reality for pennies is it worth it?

Be honest @Mr Badger - when you say less than £1 - how much exactly is it?

I would be careful in case they dispute the paypal transaction within 90 days.

Exactly. Why move from the original method to another which might be dodgy, like using a stolen paypal account or payment details.

This is exactly how a lot of overpayment scams work.

The cost to you won't be the £1.

The Chinese will start to care when the UN hits them HARD with sanctions post-covid.

I would always advise anyone no matter the circumstances....

Stand and bang.
