Is that just because of the blacklisting, which AFAIK is Amazon-specific (I don't know if Kobo has a blacklisting procedure, or for that matter if they ever say "shipping it back costs too much money, just keep the defective unit")?

Or are you saying the sale of a known defective unit is fraud? That would be something difficult to prove to Paypal -- the "knowingly" bit.


In this case, it *seems* the OP bought from a seller that knowingly sold a defective unit.
So, is that Kobo's responsibility?
You seem to agree it wouldn't be Amazon's responsibility.
