That's what I figured. Wonder if the OP (and others) would find these appealing in that case.

Most are not purchase reimbursed. Most are inquiry only or purchase/return.
I certainly find such most appealing.
1. Paid fee with no purchase. Most appealing.
2. Paid fee with purchase and return. Acceptable provided the fee is sufficient to cover the extra time to return the item.
3. Paid fee with required reimbursed purchase followed by a trip to the Goodwill to ditch the handbag or whatever other thing one was required to purchase. Reluctant. The fee better be significant enough to justify the impact to cash flow and risk of not being reimbursed.
4.Paid fee with required non-reimbursed purchase. The fee needs to be significant enough to profit from the shop/reporting time, transport to the shop, the required purchase, and the trip to the Goodwill.
5. No fee with required reimbursed purchase. Big ten foot pole list. One is out the time and cost to get to the shop and the time to report and then the time to ditch the item all for no fee. Not to mention the cash flow exposure and the chance that the MSC won't pay up.
In all my days of professional shopping, I have seldom encountered a product which I would want to have and have never encountered such a product that I was required to purchase as part of the shop.
