Comes down to these two choices:
1) Moral answer - customers should return the items even if Amazon was remiss in the maintenace of their systems.
2) Legal answer (from a non lawyer) - Amazon has the recourse to pursue the difference in court - not by posting unauthorized charges to customer account. Doing so will just cost them more in chargeback fees. Unfortunately, the cost of pursuing payment in court would exceed the monies lost on most orders. However, the 100+ set people might be served at some point.
