A seller has agreed to refund me and is asking for the payment transaction Id. Is it secure to give out this number?

My item received was not as described.  Is my transaction Id number to be kept private or is it secure to give this information to the seller?

The seller likely just wants to be sure that he refunds the correct payment. You can safely give the PayPal transaction number to the seller.
