I'm a little strapped for cash and looking to make a few bucks so I had an idea to take advantage of some of the flash sales that Amazon frequently has.  The idea is to buy items that are deeply discounted on a fire sale (usually around 40%), holding them for a few days, then listing them on eBay for somewhere between what I paid and normal list price.  Then if the item doesn't sell, I return it to Amazon; I'm a Prime member (through school for free for now), so all it would cost is the 5 minutes it takes to walk to the UPS store.

 

So my question to you is, does Amazon have any penalties for abusing the returns system that I'm seemingly unaware of?

I think there are better ideas than that. Reasons why not include what will you state as reason for return every time, didn't use? My 2 cents, try it and if amazon says something let us know so we can then stop that too.  ;)
