Caveat Emptor.

AFAIK it's legal. Might be courteous to disclose "no returns accepted" on such listings, but I don't think it's mandatory, at least not everywhere.

Buy with a credit card that offers warranty coverage on purchased items.

Even brick and mortar stores definitely will sell special items (discontinued items, returned items, etc.) on an all sales final basis sometimes.

It's reasonable they could do a chargeback on the basis of violation of implied warranty of fitness.

Edit: it's probably a violation of implied warranty of merchantability.
