Can you buy out their inventory, sell them for $36 online, and help everyone save a dollar, or is this the same old "Retailers treated it as a loss leader"? Amazon/eBay prices are indeed gospel. You can ship something like th

In theory yes, Reg Z forces them to prove that it was you that borrowed the money. In practice this is a weird situation to be in since chargebacks almost always favor the buyer so I have no idea how this shakes out and if it's worth t

You didn't provide any evidence that the charge was fraudulent. If they have a tracking number you gotta provide something, at least a police report. Also you likely filed "merchandise/services not received" when you sho
