The owner of the item is responsible for refund. If the owner wants to have an afterwords dispute with the TPA that's a second issue.
You are paying PSA to give opinion, not take over financial responsibilities for your sales, not as your insurance company. If people want PSA to start being 100% financially responsible for a $20,000 item, start assuming the authentication fee will be substantially higher. Perhaps $20,000.
This is not to suggest I believe PSA bears no financial responsibilities for shoddy, irresponsible work. A seller might indeed be able to after a refund take PSA to court and win some monies.
But, when in doubt, the legal owner of an item is responsible for the refund.
