Interesting. Amazon third party sellers have always interested me.
It does however feel like it's very luck dependent. Each seller might behave differently so you need to do some studying on what the refunding policies are for them.

Also, chances are you won't be screwing a giant company that gets fined for billions every year but some Dude that makes a living by importing and reselling.

...furthermore, I wonder how things work if an item is sold by a third party but shipped by Amazon.
