The merchant can't 'return' things it never got. The fees are billed by the bank to the user. That's none of Uber's business, and (more importantly): Uber has no way to verify if the user had those fees, and if the users screenshots are correct.

As Uber said: They have no control of this. The user should go to their bank, because they provided the service of currency conversion.

Consider the following scenario:

1. I borrow your thing.

2. I break your thing.

3. Oh well, there's literally nothing that can be done about this.
