How can we ask for - "To make repayment for expense or loss incurred"?

I have to write a mail to online e-Commerce site as on their site they have mentioned wrong detail/amount for product and I have made extra payment.

So is this sentence correct?

Please do the needful and reimburse.

reimburse needs an object, like this:

Please reimburse me for the difference in price

You can write something like this :

The amount you mentioned for the product is wrong, and because of which I did an extra payment. So, in that case you need to refund me the extra amount that I paid for the product.

  • 'I made an extra payment...' '...did an extra payment'* is typical Indian! :) – Maulik V Mar 08 '16 at 07:05

    @MaulikV, I'm an Indian and I'm proud of it as well. I guess its way of writing. you liked that way so you wrote it and I wrote that. India is not all included in this topic. – Nehal Mar 08 '16 at 08:56

    @MaulikV , This is not the place to make fun of any country... This community is to learn English.. Not to point out any country name.... You are also an Indian – Pallavi Mar 08 '16 at 09:01
  • @Pallavi I'm an Indian and thus I know this! However, you missed my point. I said it's an Indian way to write OR It's Indian English. I have been asking many such questions on InE. For instance, if you use 'Kindly do the needful', others will surely say - it's typical Indian! – Maulik V Mar 08 '16 at 11:23
  • Nehal, many Indians like writing/speaking English in their own way. But 'liking' is different than what is 'correct'! – Maulik V Mar 08 '16 at 11:35

    @Ms.Nehal Indian English has nothing to do with the country, India. It is a writing style like British and American English. All are proud of their respective countries. The only aim of this platform is to learn the correct way of writing English. – Rucheer M Mar 08 '16 at 11:44
  • @MaulikV, yes I know liking is different from Correct, but I don't think so that using did in place of made really made that huge difference and which led to a wrong answer. And you cannot say that the answer I gave is completely incorrect – Nehal Mar 09 '16 at 07:04
  • Where do you find 'completely' in my comments? Note that I did not downvote your answer too. I just said that there are dozens of things in English we Indians think are right...but they are not!. Take it, or trash it! It all depends whether or not you want to learn. – Maulik V Mar 09 '16 at 08:26
