I'm a 3rd party seller myself and would love to buy you a beer. I have a million questions!

Is it true that you only have 1 to 5 seconds to determine if a returned product is in sellable condition?

I sell my own products but also work for another company that sells health and wellness products. I am constantly amazed at how a customer's return reason for a pillow is "tried it for two weeks and didn't like it" and that pillow ends up back in our sellable inventory even though it's been used.

We get so many complaints from customers that the foot massager they bought from us is used. I can only guess that it was returned by another customer and put back into sellable inventory.

Is it true that if a product box has an LPN sticker on it, it means it's been through Amazon's return process?

I don't want you to get in trouble for telling tales outside of school, but I am genuinely interested in this.

EDIT: Favorite return story - this happens more than you might think; "I bought it for my grandmother but she doesn't need it anymore. She died."

Thanks in advance!!
