Which seems to not apply here. I've never heard of a non-profit disallowing its members from using prime to benefit the charity, even if they're otherwise careful.
I don't think there's an exception if you're not making a profit from the reselling.
"Using prime to benefit the charity" is different if nobody's giving them money to do so, because they aren't selling anything then. But buying something on your account when someone pays you is reselling.
That's a really weird definition of "selling". I find it hard to believe that giving away stuff bought with donations is legally considered "selling" in most jurisdictions, including Canada.
This seems clearly structured as a sale from Amazon to him, and a sale from him to the donator, with instructions to give it to charity.
If it was his own money the case would be a bit murkier, perhaps.
Unless the donors are choosing the specific items to be purchased and the specific recipients, I don't see how it can be considered that they have bought anything.
I feel like having an actual charity changes this somewhat, in that it's expected that a charity might not spend all its donations right away, there's overhead, etc. As far as I can tell he's doing this all personally.
