My understanding is waitlist is usually filled with returned items.
If item is on clearance it will not be returning.
If more items were definitely on order they often give a future fill date.
If you have your heart set on item maybe stay on waitlist, and order your second choice, if you can afford to do so. You , of course will incur s&h fees.

I agree with @IMW
Usually 'waitlist' means waiting for a return, while 'backorder' means more stock has been ordered, but not received yet.
I've read Mods say that 'backorder' orders are filled before 'waitlist' orders.

I don't know about the "waitlist means returned item"; if this is the case, then there are people REALLY adapt at wrapping, sealing and making an item become new again. Do I think some items may be? Yes. But so are items you purchase at department stores (especially shoes).
I rarely see items on backorder but always see them on waitlist. ALWAYS.

I have am item on waitlist now. Q sold out and, as all businesses, assumes a certain percentage will be returned. I don't have an expectation of it not being a return.
