They are just trying to help you out. They know there are "if you find it cheaper in the next 30 days, we'll refund the difference" policies out there. So those ads are actually much more helpful than you are giving credit. They can't help it you chose poorly and used a site that did not have that policy. /s

If I ever decide to uninstall, re-pack, and return a dishwasher after I find it for $40 cheaper, I will let you know.

The point of the offer is that you don't have to do that. You just report that you found it, they verify, and then they will refund the difference in prices. Very few vendors do this, but it is a legit offer to help alleviate those post purchase regrets.

That's not the reason you keep seeing ads for products you just bought. Google was aware of your interest in the product yet was unable to track that you actually bought one. So they think you're still looking.

It's also not Google who controls re-targeting lists. At least on Facebook, retailers can easily tell this ad not to be shown to you after you paid.

hence the /s at the end of the comment

Sorry, missed that :)
