Over the years I have retuned at least that many items for various (always serious) reasons, but not all at or above $500.
So first, this is a hypothetical question. I'm not trying t start a trend. Second, 10 -15? Hmm, I was thinking like 2 or maybe 3 a year. After all I don't buy new test equipment that often (this year I purchased 5 new items, but this was litrally a once in a lifetime year) and usually one is trying to decide between 2 or 3 items that compete in the same price/spec/functionality range..
ataradov:
It is obviously fine to have random returns over multiple years. If you have 2-3 returns of test equipment a year, it might be enough.
In any case, I don't see how this is ethical and I would not blame Amazon for limiting or closing the account. This is the risk you take.

so why are americans replying i?for all we know canada could have similar rules and the mention of it rings a bell leading them to search them out.
And any retailer has the right to refuse your customer,of course things might be different in the land of serve me or i'll sue,

I have no idea how many you were talking about. You didn't say.
I just purchased and returned a KVM switch from Amazon. It had a spectacularly bad feature (it disconnects and reconnects the mouse/keyboard each time you switch hosts. It was not anything I could have ever ascertained from reading the manual or product description (I did both). So I returned it without giving it a second thought.
I think if you're knowingly trying to decide between 2 or 3 items then you should find a different way to evaluate them than buy/return.

you're the only person quoting country specific regulations. everyone else is just commenting that Amazon has policies about excessive returns. noone has said you can't return an item once purchased, just that you may not be in a position to keep buying if your returns are excessive.
