If you decide not to accept an out-of-policy return or if you plan to provide a returnless refund, you can close the buyer’s return request. Once the request is closed, the buyer will receive a message with the closure reason from Amazon. ( )

You can process a refund either after the return arrives or immediately if you plan a returnless refund on an item with its value lower than the return shipping cost. Once you received a return, you are expected to issue a refund to the buyer within 24 hours; otherwise, Amazon might refund the buyer and charge the amount to your seller account. ( )
