Amazon Returns Recovery

Iron Law:

Nothing is disputed, canceled, or sent without the account owner's per-item
confirmation. Discovery is read-only; every action phase is gated.

Why this exists

1. Money like this doesn't announce itself. Restocking fees, short refunds, and forgotten subscription charges sit unannounced in order history unless something checks.
2. Overturning an already-denied refund after the return window closed is the realistic ceiling of a well-reasoned exception ask, so ask for more than a waiver when the facts support it.
