By "this" do you mean if someone is trying to discover this my "return probing"? I.e. opening return requests after every single purchase in the hopes of getting this response?

I can believe that, but I wasn't doing that, I keep most things I buy. I just happened to get this response for an item the other day.

FWIW it was a 7 Euro 2 meter long gas hose, the kind you use for a propane tank when camping.

I assume the restocking logistics didn't work out for whatever reason.

On second thought maybe they've got some hidden policies when it comes to certain products categories. The potential liability of reselling a gas-related product in this price range may not be worth it.



By “this” I mean refund without return. You can only have so many on your apparently, no matter the reason, before you’re flagged for (seemingly) ever.

Maybe. But it’s amazon we’re talking about, they might not care.
