Two consecutive random refunds from different purchases / users.

[secondlifeserver]

Over the past two days I got emails for small partial refunds on seperate purchases from differnt sellers.

On Dec 19, 2023 I recieved a random refund of $0.62 for a  purchase of ~$200 in May, 2023.

On Dec 20, 2023 (today) I recieved a random refund of $0.69 for a  purchase of ~$60 in April, 2023.

I considered that it might be an adjustment from ebay but the purchase amounts are too different / there is no common ratio. The amounts are also not a multiple of the tax rate where I live. Has anyone else recieved small refunds like these randomly? Something weird is going on.

@secondlifeserver there have been many reports of these small refunds, especially from buyers in Michigan.

The general consensus is it's a partial sales tax refund because eBay charged tax on shipping when they shouldn't have.
