I purchased an item on Amazon that was sold by another vendor but fullfilled by Amazon on 12/12/2011.

Today I check Amazon and its sold and fullfilled by Amazon and its $50 cheaper.

I called them but no luck on a price match.

Can I just return the unopened item and order the reduced price item?

If I return the older item will I get my money back or just credit?

As long as the item is still in it's original packaging (unless it was purchased used) you can return it for a full refund, minus return shipping fees.

Yeah its unopened a Christmas present. Should I order the one on special today with a different account or my account where the other one was bought?

The other is already wrapped as a gift. I plan on ordering the reduced one and just send it right back with the return shipping label I just printed.

I just don't know if I should my own account.

If It's a FBA item, they might expect the label to be on it to indicate that it is that specific one from that specific seller when you return it.

I can do that. I think I put it in a gift bag so it shouldn't be so hard. I just ordered the cheaper one and it will be here on Friday I guess I'll open the box swap items and tape it up and send it back.

I really wouldn't be doing it for $10-$15 bucks but we are talking $57.

Nothing bad is going to happen if you use your own account. Nobody cares unless you're trying to commit some form of fraud, which this isn't. It's like buying something from Costco and then the price goes down and you still haven't opened it. At mine, they won't do a price match so they have you return it and then buy a new one at the lower price.

Thanks I just never return things so its all new to me. I was just so shocked to see it drop so low right after I bought it.
