A little correction on your request payload, "AP-95V43510SV018561T0" is a pay-key value (obtained from the Pay api response), the name pair should be payKey = AP-95V43510SV018561T0

A partial refund payload with minimum parameters would be like this, say if you have just made a $100 transaction and is about to do a $50 refund:

requestEnvelope.errorLanguage = en_US
detailLevel = ReturnAll 
payKey = AP-95V43510SV018561T0
receiverList.receiver(0).email = [email protected]
receiverList.receiver(0).amount = 50.00
currencyCode = USD

And the API response:

responseEnvelope.timestamp=2015-08-06T07:39:08.861-07:00
responseEnvelope.ack=Success
responseEnvelope.correlationId=2e7007b68f85b
responseEnvelope.build=17603431
currencyCode=USD
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).receiver.amount=50.00
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0)[email protected]
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).refundStatus=REFUNDED
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).refundNetAmount=48.05
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).refundFeeAmount=1.95
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).refundGrossAmount=50.00
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).totalOfAllRefunds=50.00
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).refundHasBecomeFull=false
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).encryptedRefundTransactionId=96U15993F0258151X
refundInfoList.refundInfo(0).refundTransactionStatus=COMPLETED
