If you are completely unaware of the method, either do a lot of research or go for a service that will do it for you.
You can just say that you were on vacation/ business trip and have returned from there. Note that FTID is less likely to succeed if the package crosses international borders.

I am aware of how the method works, kinda. I was just confused about the fact that Amazon will be like "yeah send it back from a different country, that seems legit". I will def be using a FTID service, I am just a bit unsure how to execute it. Is it correct that if it all goes well, I won't even have to say anything to a rep? So like if the package is received and gets lost, they will just refund me auto right?

If you use a FTID service, the refund is on you, not on the guy. You will have to manage the situation and yes, speak to a rep because they will need to manually refund you, investigate the package etc.
If you use a refund service the guy does everything but he will not tell you what method he will use.

He will make it find it's way there but then disappear. I will just say that I sent it and show them tracking, and from there I will just SE my way into the refund. That's what I was thinking.
