Amazon Is Banning People For Making Too Many Returns (businessinsider.com)

Amazon -- which for years has maintained the standard for free returns online -- might now ban users for making too many returns. From a report:The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday documented complaints that the e-commerce giant had barred customers who had returned items. Amazon apparently failed to alert the customers that they had returned too many items before the bans. The Journal spoke with two people and cited dozens more online who said they had been barred from Amazon, as well as others who received emails from the company after returning some items. The two people who spoke with The Journal seem to be part of a wave of hundreds of people who were barred from Amazon in late March and early April, as previously reported by Business Insider.

  2. Youtube Un-boxers by bryanbrunton · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There are people on YouTube who have channels devoted to unboxing Amazon items that they clearly have no intention of ever keeping.

    Many of the reviews are truly low on content because you can tell the person has unboxed his/her 50th item that day, and they don't have the energy or knowledge to say anything of value.

    Amazon isn't in the business of allowing these people to profit from free returns.
