I returned an item but was charged a restocking fee. I don't understand why this fee was applied as I thought returns were free. Could you please explain the reason for this charge?

This policy typically includes a specified return window, within which customers can return the product and receive a full refund or exchange.

Sellers often have a return policy in place to ensure customer satisfaction and allow for exchanges or refunds in case of issues with the product.

However, there are instances where the return window has already passed, and customers still attempt to return the product. In such cases, sellers may have the right to charge a restocking fee.

Additionally, if the product returned is damaged, used, or different from what was originally sent, sellers may also impose a restocking fee.

A restocking fee is a charge that covers the costs associated with processing the return, such as re-inspecting the product, repackaging it, and restocking it in inventory.
