The intent was that they'd pay for returns as needed, but they'd still ultimately be expected to make a significant amount of money from the successful predictions and -perhaps more significant - from the large number of predictions that weren't successful but which the unwilling customer didn't feel motivated enough to return for whatever reason (most likely time, but also possibly guilt over causing it to be thrown out, plus you know Amazon will make it as difficult as they can get away with to request a return). Personally, I can say that if anything of the sort goes live, I'll be stripping all payment information from my Amazon account and only ever using gift cards and the like to make purchases moving forward (not that I make many Amazon purchases) to prevent such shenanigans, but many will not be so vehemently opposed and Amazon will still make a ton of money off of the idea. --- This is my signature.
