The handling fee is £1 plus the undercharged postage.
When this has happened to me as the seller I have refunded the full amount immediately though paypal from the original payment and sent a stamped addressed envelope to the buyer so they can return the 'charge card' or receipt to me. Once i get the confirmation of the charge I then reclaim that from the Royal Mail , that assumes it was weighed and stamped at the PO of course.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Silly question but was it definitely a large letter under 100grammes? It didn't just creep over the weight or dimensions into packet did it?
Also it seems very unlikely that anyone would try it on for such a small amount.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Thickness of the packaging is also an issue isn't it? Was it too thick to be classed as a normal letter?
I'd have to agree with Soolin, it seems very unlikely that anyone would to go this much trouble over a tiny amount of money.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0 -

sounds like the stamp came loose
thats £1 plus 2nd class large letter
you didnt tape the stamp on did you?0 -
I don't think that the new postage system is complicated enough - surely the RM could charge differnt prices based on the colour of the packaging, what it smells like or maybe whether it makes a rattly noise or not ?0
