  • I pay someone x amount in good faith; they decide they won't honour it and refund less than I paid!

    You are being unfair here. The shop have almost definitely refunded exactly what they received.

    Whereas what they're legally obliged to do is refund the amount the customer paid. If it was a UK shop I'm assuming most people wouldn't be happy receiving a refund of the money they paid less the card transaction fee.

    It's not down to the shops in other countries to cover fx fluctuations when they're advertising things in their local currency.

    If they sold it for £450 then fine, refund £450 (and they take the hit or not).
    If they sold it for €500 then refund €500.
