In my experience, Amazon generally understands this, while Kobo does not.
Not necessarily.

Let us say Amazon sold a defective Kindle. The purchaser called Amazon CS, and got a replacement. Amazon said, don't bother shipping us the defective unit.

Purchaser sells defective unit on ebay.
Sap second purchaser buys the defective unit, discovers it is defective, calls Amazon CS to complain.


What should Amazon do?
