עובר על איסור *רבית.



Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat  232:19

“If someone sells eggs to his friend and it was found to be
spoiled and inedible, It is considered a Mekach Taous,(mistaken sale)
and the money must be returned. Today we don’t rule
like this. And a Minhag is Mevatel (nullifies) a Halacha”

Rav Y.S. Elyashiv & Rav S. Wosner zt"l both hold
that this Minhag/Halacha is not applicable when a person borrows the eggs. Therefore there is no need to repay for the spoiled eggs.

R. Wosner (Shevet Halevi 10:133) writes that since there is no need to repay the eggs you may not repay it otherwise it's רבית*
