I ordered a used textbook on Amazon from a third party seller for $98. I ordered a specific edition. The seller contacted me via email:
I researched and discovered that this International version of the book they were trying to substitute was a much older version that can be bought online for $11 used. I replied immediately to cancel my order and that I didn't want it. That was followed up with 2 more emails by me requesting cancellation, and I received no response.
I contacted Amazon to cancel the order because it had not been shipped yet. Amazon refuses to cancel third party transactions and instructed me to give the seller 3 days to reply. In the meantime, I bought the textbook I wanted from another seller.
A week has passed and now I see that the seller shipped the item today and ignored my 3 requests for cancellation. I was billed, but after some wrangling, Amazon has issued me a credit.
IF it shows up, do I have to return it? I don't want to hassle with driving to the post office and waiting in line, and I'm certainly not going to pay for return shipping. Can I just throw it away? Because it was cancelled, does this fall under the unsolicited merchandise guidelines?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

We would like to give you additional information about the book. This is International Edition not US Edition. Anyway, it has the same contents as Hard cover one, but it's much cheaper price than US Edition a lot. Also, it's legal to use International Edition in The US. Anyway, some of our customers are worried about the rights to use International Edition. Because We would like to meet customers' satisfaction as much as possible. Therefore, we email you to confirm if you still need to order this book? Could you please contact us ASAP no longer than 1 day (24 hours); otherwise, we have to run the process on behalf of amazon selling policy. We're waiting for your response.
