Re: [w3c/browser-payment-api] Support for negative amounts (#119)

It could be a solution yes but I'm still wondering why a negative payment would be an option for a merchant except for refund. Having the possibility to call a negative amout in payment could create a high security risk for merchants as it would allow money to go back to the customer without prior check or control.
For refund, even if users could be able to ask for their order cancellation online, the refund process is mainly done asynchronously in back-end and is for the same payment method than the one used to pay. Allowing negative payments with the user who will decide which payment methods he wants to use would allow him to make an order with his credit card for instance and then launch refund on another payment account, moving transaction costs to the merchant instead of him.
