Refund At First Scan for $100 order
I recently have had two orders refund at first scan for orders that were $100 or over. Previous months those amount totals were never refund at first scan. Why all the sudden is amazon allowing this? $100 was the base, after tax order was $107, on both orders. I thought 100$ was the threshold that was not to be refund at first scan?

Us too! We just came to the forums looking for answers, both orders Amazon refunded today were over $100.

Same here. I've been in an argument with the worthless chat and phone support. It sounds like a new policy and you have to dispute the return if there is a problem when it gets back with Amazon and not the customer. Amazon lets people return boxes of rocks and just gives them money back.

I attempted to email support, and they were useless, saying there was no such policy of orders over 100$ not being refund at first scan and basically every order customer states its defective they can refund at first scan, absolutely wild.

Thank you for those examples @Seller_8opwwN6P8sp6Z. I shared them with our partner team for their review.
@Seller_65SosQSNEbezj Do you have any examples you can share with me with >$100 returns that you believe should not have been issued? The examples shared so far are exactly $100, and it would be helpful to share greater examples.
If you prefer, you can open a case and share that ID, or I can open a direct case.
