Easy to do:

 

Go to your  "Manage paid and shipped orders" screen.

 

Find the item which you wish to partially refund.

 

Next to the "View order details" oval is a circle with three dots inside -- click on that.

 

Scroll down to "Send refund" -- click on that.

 

You'll be sent to the "Enter refund amount" screen -- enter the amount which you wish to refund, then click "Total refund to buyer" -- click on that.

 

You might be sent to another screen, requesting information on the reason for the refund.  I generally have used "Shipping discount," then adding the notation "Refunding excess shipping charges.

 

Click on that.

 

You finally may be sent to a final screen, on which you are requested to confirm (AGAIN!!!) the amount which you wish to refund.  Don't forget to click on that button.

 

You should receive 2 emails from eBay -- one confirming your intention to refund, and the other to confirm that your buyer has been refunded.

 

A lot of busywork for a minor refund, right?

 

Good luck.

Oh yeah -- forgot to mention -- the refund amount has to be over $1.00.

 

Nothing is easy in eBay.

Forty six cents?

 

I wouldn't bother. You realize you pay eBay fees on total amount buyer pays (item+ship+tax), yes? So you probably lost money on shipping if difference between what buyer paid for shipping and what you paid for label was only $0.46.

 

haha and I see you're selling items in the hundreds $.

 

Was $0.46 a typo @bulitnoz ?

Wonder what it will cost for the OP to mail $.46, @wastingtime101??
ETA: I'm guessing that four dimes, one nickel and one penny weighs less than one quarter, two dimes and one penny, huh?
