That's why the change he gave is a loss. However, the money he got from the neighbour he simply gives back later.
Let's change the chronology of the actual exchanges:
The seller gets 25 rubles from his neighbour, then gives them back to his neighbour (now he is at 0 again), then he gives someone 15 rubles and a cap (net loss: 15 rubles and a cap).
