Re: What to do in this situation?
If this is for an eBay item, I'm pretty sure you can refund the buyer and just reinvoice them through eBay (they could probably repay from the listing itself). Depends on the amount, but IMO it's not a good idea to refund and redo the transaction so quickly; it may get flagged by Paypal as "suspicious activity" because your receiving multiple payments from the same buyer or acting too quickly (paid, refund, paid). Unfortunately, that's just how the Paypal system works. Most buyers get it right the first time and everything else is counted as fraud check.
If you've gotten paid successfully and this is an important or high value item, I'd go with what you've got instead of making things more complicated.
