DMB: This whole thread seems bizaaro. 1. Tes shows 2 books currently owned. At least one (whichever) wasn't already refunded. And one recently purchased. Are we saying Tes bought-refunded-bought-again the 2nd while already having the first? 2. Why did a second edition get added over a first edition ... by the same author. I can understand a new author ... often happens. Or multiple Bible editions (for dastardly translators). Remember the discussion of commentary series mixups?

We don't know the exact timeline or sequence.
1. Bought 1st. ed.
2. Bought 2nd. ed. (could have happened earlier).
3. Returned 1st. ed. (could have happened earlier).
4. Bought 1st. ed. again because he wasn't warned that he already owned the 2nd. ed. or had already done it before.
5. Tried to return 1st. ed.
That's my best guess?

And not knew the contents of the second until I purchased and downloaded.

Gold star!
On Amazon, they play that game (publisher re-packaging). I'm always surprised when I select Remove from my Kindle, and it correctly deduces a refund desired. Quick and smart.
But as I understand it (serious), Amazon doesn't have the dishonest Christians that buy-use-refund for a paper, etc. FL can't really know if Tes is honest or not (of course, he is and helpful to FL too).

I have made a suggestion here that other editions be added to the product page. It seems like this mistake could have been easily avoided, and the ability to see other editions at a glance would be nice for other reasons too. If you are willing, a comment of support on that thread could not hurt:

Amazon have a great feature whereby you can see you've previously bought a book - even if you've since returned it. That might be a nice feature to add.

Beloved Amodeo: Paul Caneparo: Amazon have a great feature whereby you can see you've previously bought a book - even if you've since returned it. That might be a nice feature to add. I agree, this is a nice feature, however, what I don't like about what Amazon does is if you have bought the book before and returned it for a refund they still indicate that you have this book in your collection. This can be very confusing as I have learned by experience.
If you click on the order though you can see you returned it. The advantage is at least you know you bought it and returned it.
The question is: If he bought it before and returned it, why didn’t he check the content the first time so he knew not to buy again a second time? He says he just now realized they’re the same when it downloaded. Didn’t he realized that before?
Most second editions are virtually identical with a few minor changes. I have a few of those and I don’t mind having them. Either way, the suggestions mentioned here to prevent this seem like good suggestions.
I’ve got it: “Warning ⚠️ You purchased this book before and returned it. If you buy it again you will not be able to return it a second time for a refund.” Or something shorter along these lines.
I have a solution, though: If FL is willing to waive the transfer fee maybe they can give me the 1992 first edition of An Exegetical Summary of Philippians and charge me the $8.99 for it and just refund Tes his $8.99. Do we have a deal? I think is a win-win situation and FL doesn’t necessarily lose their sale.
Thanks!

For me, I LIKE having multiple editions of the same title. I put a lot of value into being able to follow links from quotes back to their source. IF book 1 cites book 2 edition 1, and I have book 2 edition 2, the links won't work. So I try to have the titles and editions that are referenced where i can. I have several bdag for instance, and I'm ok with that. Seems like a good opportunity for someone to show how "cited by" took works.

Agree. I have 4 different BDAGs ... it's great! Joking.
I agree that multiple versions are nice and should be sold especially when they are different. I wish I had BADG but it isn't sold anymore. I come across references for it all the time and they can be hard to track down in BDAG.
Another pain is O'Brien and his WBC. That one was pulled for plagiarism but it is would be nice if there was a way to electronically reference it. e.g. Put a big plagiarism sticker on it and have the profits go to the affected. I do have the dead tree version though which helps.
