Either way, that person makes some extra cash.

Amazon probably hadn't disabled that Kindle yet. If it was stolen and then resold quickly then the real owner might not have noticed yet or hadn't had enough time to report it. Another possibility is that it was ordered with a stolen account or credit card.
There would be no reason for the fraudulent seller to get the Kindle blacklisted. They've got their money either way and if you stay a happy "customer" then it'd be easier for them in the future.
