Does quickbooks now charge a few for processing refunds? WTAF is that about?

Yes, you're right, @trtpllc. Processing fees cannot be returned or refunded when reversing a transaction for a customer. Let me share some information about these fees in QuickBooks Online.

A refund transaction will be charged a fee depending on your pricing plan and transaction type. You can sign in to your Merchant Service Center to review the rates. This way, you will know what the amount is being charged by the system. In addition, the cost is typically determined based on a percentage of the transaction and a flat fee. 

I've got these helpful resources for further details:

• Common terms to process credit cards for payments. 
• Understand fees for refunds or void transactions.

I'm also including this link, which provides detailed steps for processing a refund payment transaction in QBO. This will help ensure accurate accounting of transactions when refunding customers.
