overpayer

Pays too much

An overpayer is someone who pays more than necessary or more than something is worth.

The term appears in tax contexts for those who've paid excess taxes and are due refunds, and in discussions of consumer behavior or compensation: Overpayers of property tax can file for reimbursement.

It can also describe someone habitually willing to pay premium prices.
