Does this apply?

“If you have paid your airline for any extras (for example priority boarding or additional luggage) then these will have been paid using your own payment card and the cost should have been refunded directly to you. If you have not yet received a refund for these extra costs then you will need to speak to your airline.”

Whilst it might not be right or fair at least you are getting your money back ,there are thousands of people on this site who would gladly pay £5 for their refund

Booking direct is the only way to avoid third party fees.
They have to make money for the work they do

They did a job booking the flight then issuing a refund - and staff aren't free.
Some are charging £30+, I'd take that as a good result.
