Paypal Dilemma - what would you do?

So far: Received 2 payments (totalling £720) this evening for goods sold (not on eBay) for £360.
Buyer contacts me saying her computer crashed whilst finalising the first payment, and she made the payment twice in error. My Paypal account has both of these payments listed.
The seller has requested that I send one of the payments back, which I guess is fair enough, but I'm worried that if I send £360 back, and then both payments are subject to some sort of chargeback, then I'll be out of pocket.
Should I issue one payment back as a refund, or could this be a scam?

Nothing sent yet Pinin.
I'm thinking issue one payment as a refund (which I assume there's no comeback to me on) and keep the other?

Send 2nd repeat payment as a refund and nothing else - not as a gift (as although appears innocent, that could possibly be the scam for the reason that if the sale is then contested you could loose that and not recover the gift). Contact paypal if unsure.

Have refunded the 2nd erroneous payment, and kept the first.
Also contacted PP and explained what happened.
Fingers crossed all sorted now - did smell a bit fishy to me, but noticed today that both payments made via 'mobile' so quite easy to do this twice I guess.
