Wait, so you got charged a year later after returning it? They only issue refunds when it has been sent back, so they are charging you for their own inventory mismanagement, or worse.
They often do the whole “we’ll refund immediately as a courtesy but you need to return it by x or you’ll be charged” thing— in this case for whatever (infuriating) reason they charged me even though it’s clear their own system (their chat bot) knew the item had been marked as received on their end. I dropped it off at a brick and mortar store too!
It’s possible this is yet another courtesy refund thingy and they think they don’t have it but they think the price of the item is not as important as making you happy as a customer.

I mean I dropped it off at an amazon store so they definitely received it
I’m not doubting your story, I’m saying their records might not be what you think they are.
