Amazon may issue a refund without requiring a return for several reasons: the cost of shipping back the item might outweigh the item's value, the item may have been damaged or lost during transit, or you're a valued customer and it's more cost-effective for Amazon to maintain a good relationship with you. This policy, largely automated, helps Amazon save on logistics while keeping customer satisfaction high. Always check your email or Amazon's return policy for specific reasons and guidelines on your transaction.
