Glad to see some personal validation, here. I encountered bizarre clawbacks from Amazon on five different occasions in 2025 from returns - one of them four months after the return and refund. They'd often claim they expected a certain item, but received a different one. After reaching out to their CS department they'd tell me it was a mistake, refund me, tell and not to worry about it - all just to have their returns team charge me yet again for it a few weeks later...

Congrats! Will you be able to apply for compensation in this case?

This is hard paywalled. Is a bypass available?

I did not receive an account. They offered me $2.40 and I did not accept it now they owe me more. I’m trying to get a refund off a partner and he stolen me out.
