> That's return fraud, someone orders a new version of a product they have, put their old product in the new box and file a return immediately.

Not necessarily. What’s more likely is that people try something, change their mind, and return it now used.

Amazon actually allows this for some products, as long as it’s still within the return period.

The problem is, they shouldn’t be shipping them back out as new.

Maybe local laws, but probably a third of what I buy on Amazon is sold as "refurbished" which, 90% of the time is just damaged packaging or products that spent a few minutes outside it.
