What this skill does
When to Use Use this skill when managing the product return lifecycle, including authorization, physical inspection, making disposition decisions (e.g., restock vs. liquidator), detecting return fraud, or processing warranty claims.

Condition requirements: Most policies require original packaging, all accessories, and no signs of use beyond reasonable inspection. "Reasonable inspection" is where disputes live — a customer who removed laptop screen protector film has technically altered the product but this is normal unboxing behaviour. Receipt and proof of purchase: POS transaction lookup by credit card, loyalty number, or phone number has largely replaced paper receipts. …
