correct maths are: merchant gets 10000 then returns 10000 and still has to pay 7000 to vendor for the goods. net loss is 7K, not 17K

You could also say the total loss is 10K to the merchant, assuming he has a reasonable expectation of making that 3K profit...that is getting a little abstract about it though.
