Can You Get a Returnless Refund From Amazon?

In respect to multiple seller requests, Amazon introduced a Returnless Refund Policy. In short, it states that a seller can “treat” you a broken or very cheap item instead of initiating the return that may be more costly than the item itself. DoNotPay breaks this policy down for you and helps you get a returnless refund from Amazon hassle-free.

Amazon Returnless Refund Policy 101

Amazon’s Terms Of Use state that the returnless refund is decided at Amazon's discretion.

Usually, Amazon will initiate a returnless refund if:

• The vendor doesn’t respond to the refund request in a timely fashion
• The seller’s returns settings are set to Accept Returnless Refunds for the location in question

If you need to return the item after all, you should do so within 30 days from the original purchase.

The Issues With the Amazon Returnless Refunds Policy

An Amazon returnless refund seems like a neat solution. If the goods you purchased are worth less than the cost of processing the return of the said item, the vendor may give it to you to save on the return expenses.

The problem arises due to one clause in the policy. Namely, if the vendor doesn’t respond to your refund request in due time, the item is auto-refunded to you in full, while also allowing you to keep the goods. This happens to the harm of the seller, so it comes as no surprise that many of them are displeased with the solution.

The issue with the policy is that the conditions are not 100% transparent to the sellers. The returnless refund settings are market-specific, and if the store operates in multiple countries, the seller needs to disable this setting for each of them separately. Should they fail to do so, they could fall short for both the disputed item and the payment.

How Can You Request an Amazon Returnless Refund?

Before finding out if you are eligible for a returnless refund, you will need to initiate a regular refund process. Only then will you be notified if the item is subject to the returnless refund policy.

How To Know If You’ll Get a Returnless Refund From Amazon

As stated above, the returnless refund option is decided based on seller settings and solely at Amazon’s discretion. Before you initiate a refund, you do not know whether you will be required to return the item you purchased or not.

If the item from your order has a low price or is broken beyond being useful to the seller, you will probably be eligible for a returnless refund.

Be advised that different return policies and deadline limitations may apply for digital products.
