Online shopping oddity

A few days ago I placed an order for a lizard repellent plug in device as listed in Amazon website. The product details seemed to be satisfactory. I did receive the items but none of them worked well. Hence I wrote to Amazon that the items need to be returned to seller and my money, back to me. When I filled the option for return, following message appeared on Amazon webpage to my utter disappointment:


"NOTE: We aren’t able to offer policy exceptions in response to comments. Do not include personal information as these comments may be shared with external service providers to identify product defects."

Thus I lost Rs 499 from my hard earned financial resource.
