>Why would a return that is then resold result in a double royalty payment? This was not marketed as a resold return to the customer, they were told they were buying a new book. It obviously results in a loss of royalties - the customer goes to buy a new book, no new book is printed. Rather, Amazon sends a returned copy, and the author doesn't get the royalty that's paid when a new book is printed.
