Seller Refunded My Payment Minus Fees

A reddit report about a other scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I was buying a Coach bag from an online seller. They sent an invoice, which I paid. They sent final pics of the item and shipping - I sent additional $$ to cover shipping costs. 10 minutes later, I get a note that my payment was refunded, minus fees. I feel in my gut this is a scam but idk how it works - or why anyone would bother.
