I just got an email from Amazon (and yes I'm pretty sure it's from amazon, because it ends in @amazon.com and it has specific account information that only I or Amazon could have) saying that they've successfully refunded my item and the money will be reverse charged to my credit card in 1-3 days.

Here's the problem: I never asked for a refund on this product.

Honestly, I like the product. I use it fairly regularly. I never wanted a refund because there was never any need.

But apparently, they've decided to give me one....for some reason.

Now, let's cover some of the ethical problems. The product is from Kitchen Aid. So it's not some small company. And the refund on the product is only $20. It would probably cost them more in company time to fix this issue than the refund itself costs.

There's no expectation of returning the item, for some reason. Apparently the reason for the refund was that I didn't find the item satisfactory. But yet I still get to keep it.

There's no easy way to respond to this email. I'm given no email to reply to, because the email used was a notification only email.

I'm tempted to just let this go. Consider it a lucky windfall.

There are no new payment methods, so I doubt this is someone who is refunding my product through my account, only to get the refund payment put on their credit card. It's still my credit card info there, and only my card.

Am I an asshole for doing nothing?
