Square REST API: Error issuing refund

Every time I try to refund a card, I get the JSON pasted below. This happens after I authorize a card, then capture the charge, then want to issue a partial refund. For “tender_id” I have tried both the transaction ID and the ID I am handed during the authorization. Of course for the capture there is no tender_id or id because a successful capture returns just “{}”.

I am also using sandbox credentials. The charge was done with a nonce generated with sandbox credentials as well.

What’s wrong?

Thanks...

With this JSON:

 {  
    "idempotency_key":"6464dc19-1703-47c0-81f9-4f0f1361eada",
    "tender_id":"291d56b3-1e73-5bff-6e8e-719fd134b83f",
    "reason":”Partial refund",
    "amount_money":{  
       "amount":4500,
       "currency":"USD"
   }
 }

Gives this reply:

 {
   "errors": [
     {
       "category": "INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR",
       "code": "NOT_FOUND",
       "detail": "Location `CBASEHHNorL75TjuSOAvKQLnuNYgAQ` does not have a transaction tender with ID `291d56b3-1e73-5bff-6e8e-719fd134b83f`."
     }
   ]
 }

UPDATE: The result from the requested GET call (in the comments to the answer) is:

After you capture, have you tried listing/retrieving the transaction to get the full details, including tender ids? Could you post your response from GET /v2/locations/CBASEHHNorL75TjuSOAvKQLnuNYgAQ/transactions/a2905f34-c8e8-5534-7676-82e8c580e9bf if that doesn't work?
