I take it, that it was to prevent the money from flowing out of the coffers. If you tell someone who wants a refund that they can't sell their position in line, then they would have to give the refund.

For BFL it would probably have been marginally better to arrange the customer to hand it off to someone else and take on the risk that the customer will do a Chargeback. (as long as they don't tell them that, there is only a slightly possibility.)

Now that the risk is probably too big to keep doing, they changed their policy.

Now they likely tell the BFL customer that they can resell it on their own, but they will have to ship to the address of the original payment. Which pushes the risk of the sale from BFL to the reseller and the buyer. Leaving BFL's hand nice and clean in the event that the reseller steals the second hand buyers money.

You can't blame them for this change, it makes perfect sense.

If things were done "right" they would just give the original buyer their money back and they would be out 1 (or more) sales. Which is inconvenient of course cause they ordered all that hardware....

This just makes my head a-splode. Do you even read what you write or do thoughts just flow out of your head and into your fingers, like a stream of consciousness thing or something?

Actually, yes.

Lets boil down what you just wrote:

1. Customer wants to sell their order
AND
2. BFL won't change the shipping address
SO
3. Customer is advised to take delivery and send it to third party
BECAUSE
4. BFL does not want to be liable for scams
THEREFORE
5. BFL won't refund money because they would be out more sales.

You missed like several paragraphs that outline the point, that is why you had a WTF moment. Point number 5 is invalid as you interpreted it. Learn to actually read and follow along someones speculative post. (And quote the whole thing!)

Rather than read my post, you instead are doing a sort of psychological trick where you pretend to misread someones post and then proposition a false conclusion that makes no sense.

In other words, your lame attempt to reframe my post [with your additive non-sense] and deflect has been "called out".
