The only issue I have is that it is not in the description of the units being sold that these are used. It doesn't matter how they were acquired so long as they aren't stolen. If someone is dumb enough to pay retail for a used and out-of-warranty device, not much to be done about it.
Without an agreement in advance, you can't make a claim either way. It's a matter of opinion, and the fact that both Kobo and Amazon include return shipping labels suggests their opinion is that they own the hardware.
