You may be able to get some level of relief from your credit card. My American Express card comes with the following benefit for free:
"If you try to return an eligible item within 90 days from the date of purchase and the merchant won't take it back, American Express may refund the full purchase price (excluding shipping and handling), up to $300 per item, up to a maximum of $1,000 per calendar year per Card account, if you purchased it entirely with your eligible American Express® Card. Please read important exclusions and restrictions.‡"
- moepstar 10y agoNot having an American Express Card and not having read their terms... But: have you read the "important exclusions and restrictions"? Also, the buyer would still be out of around 200$ plus shipping even if he'd be refunded by Amex...
- eli 10y agoI've successfully used it, so I know it's a real benefit. One notable exclusion is software (presumably because you could have copied it), hardware should be fine. But yeah, it's only $300. Perhaps the fancy AmEx cards have a more robust benefit. It's pretty nice for "free" though.

- eli 10y agoThe exclusions seem very reasonable to me (example: no living animals or plants, no rare coins) Full terms are here https://web.aexp-static.com/us/content/pdf/card-benefits/PlatinumCardfromAmericanExpress/Return-Protection.pdf https://web.aexp-static.com/us/content/pdf/card-benefits/Pla...
