I had some problems with the 1-click payment, bought some items by mistake and then I received an email saying that I'm not able to ask for refunds.

Can they do that? I'm starting to hate Amazon.

What? It specifically says that you can, and even tells you how to start the process off.
I told them the same and the answer was:

"I understand your viewpoint, and I regret that you are so disappointed by our company's decision. I wish things could have worked out differently.

Ahh, I see. That wasn't clear from your post. If they've denied you what was clearly promised, as they appear to, then it's charge-back time.
