Many sellers will, yes, if it's cheaper then accepting the return, especially if a return is not sellable or the item requires special handling (hazardous materials, weight) Amazon pretty much forces sellers to accept returns for most reasons, from what I understand. Some examples from my life: I've bought a book from eBay that was advertised as the wrong edition. When I complained (I wanted a specific edition and I made sure the listing was for the edition I wanted) the seller told me to just donate the book and gave me my money back. It was a cheap used book, it would probably have cost more to ship it back than the seller would have gotten reselling it. I ordered cat litter from jet.com. Cat litter was crushed and broke open during shipping and spilled everywhere. I took a picture and asked for my money back. They didn't ask me to ship the litter back even though about 60-70% of the litter was usable (and I used it). It would have been a mess to ship back litter like that plus expenses. Edit: just thought of a third example. My parents ordered an armoire from Wayfair that must have been dropped badly in shipping, the side was extremely bowed out. The thing was like 5 feet tall and really heavy, it was solid oak. They just shipped them a new one because a return of such a big item would have been totally infeasible without sending a truck or special courier service. Some rando on Craigslist was really happy to come pick it up so he could fix it.
