You can always ask for the Serial Number before making payment. Then you can go online and see if the system will let you add it to your account. Go to "Manage Your Devices" and then select "Add a Kindle" enter the 16 digit serial number and see what happens

They could still ship you a different unit, but it eliminates cases like this were it appears the seller was unaware of the issue.
