you can’t do anything. Customers can choose to return for any reason within 30 days. It’s not a scam, it’s distance selling laws.
Depending on return reason they may be liable for the return postage

Hello mate, unfortunately under distant selling regulations a buyer can return an item 'unopened' within 14 Days of purchasing online. Selling books I take it they are not packaged so my suggestion will be to get some original wrapping around the book, this way they MUST return it fully packaged and unopened

Years ago I sold Christmas Cribs (£50 ish) - in January half of them were returned - smelling of smoke (they had been used)

In situations where customers are purchasing books and then requesting refunds after a week without providing any reason, here are a few steps you can take:
1. Review Return Policies: Ensure that your return policy is clear and specific regarding timeframes and conditions for book returns. You can consider shortening the return window or specifying that only unused or undamaged books can be refunded.
2. Set Reasonable Return Conditions: If not already in place, you could establish stricter conditions for book returns, such as only allowing returns if the book is defective or damaged. This can help reduce returns without valid reasons.
3. Digital Product Policies: If you sell digital books (eBooks), consider implementing a "no refund" policy after the book has been downloaded or read, as it’s difficult to control access to digital products once delivered.
4. Communicate with Customers: When customers request refunds, ask for feedback. This can help identify if there are common issues with the books (e.g., quality concerns), or if the requests are unfounded.
5. Customer Service: Try to offer alternatives like replacements, store credit, or exchanges instead of refunds. Some customers might accept these options.
6. Monitor Abusive Returns: Track repeat offenders or excessive return requests. If you notice patterns, you may be able to restrict returns from those accounts or set stricter policies for future orders.
Implementing these strategies can help reduce unnecessary returns while still maintaining customer satisfaction.
