What law? Stores both physical and online in the US are not obligated to allow returns on used goods. You can see examples of this with dvd/blu-ray, CDs (assuming you can find a store selling them still), video games, clothing, etc. and online take a look at Etsy where some stores don’t accept returns.
Also try on a pair of shoes online. Let me know how that goes for you. What an utterly ridiculous claim “ As soon as you are allowed to do something in a shop, it must be possible to do it online” is, it’s never been the case and barring significant advances in technology will not be the case for the foreseeable future.
