I think this bug report is based on a quite old version of the wallet and an older version of how wallet-core handles refunds.

The current API has been simplified, there is no way to show the refund amount to the user before "accepting" it. In fact, there is not really a choice between accepting and not accepting a refund. Once the wallet has received the info about the refund, it'll automatically apply it.

The question for the WebExtension is: Should the user even need to click *anything*, or should the refund URI just (1) trigger a refund check and (2) redirect to the affected transaction's details.

@Christian: Let me know if you see any issues with that approach / whether you see the need for the user to explicitly confirm/consent before the refund is checked (and auto-applied).
