I'm with you, Harry. Returning big ticket items *is* a big deal. Returning multiple big-ticket items suggests that maybe one didn't research the item in advance.
I always go to local stores and look at all the choices, plus do copious internet research before I buy a big ticket item. I don't consider it fair to return a product to any online vendor just because I decide I don't like it. I was supposed to decide that before I buy. If I change my mind, it's my job to resell it, on eBay or some other means.
Since amazon *did* give Ian a second chance, and did re-instate his account, I'm all for their closing down accounts who aren't playing fair.
