No offense, but I think some of your modifications are unnecessary or even unnatural. If you want to know in detail, please leave a comment.

Sure! I would like to know.

commission issue -> I don't think "service fee" is the perfect candidate, maybe "handling fee" would be better in this case. However, they (service fee, handling fee, commission) are basically the same in this context.

a label for turning back and a screen shot -> I think this part needs to be corrected as it is too colloquial and you did it well.

Please check -> No correction needed.

Plus -> No correction needed. Plus, you need to be extra careful when it comes to 'comma's. Although I think 'in addition' is still good, I felt it unnatural as it did not have a comma following after.

I'd like only the game consoles to be returned. -> No correction needed. In English, you can say like this when you want to have someone do something but still want to sound polite.

Although 3 pcs were purchased -> I think your modification here is proper.

In case you have any unclear point, please contact me -> No correction needed; I don't understand why you tried to modify this.

If you have any other idea, just let me know!

Thank you for your comments.

1. commission issue--> I agree with you that commission fee/ handling fee is proper but "commission issue" doesn't sound natural to me, if there is any reference that proves the way you use "commission issue" is proper in this context, could you kindly show me?
2. "Please confirm them" is just a better choice of words than "please check". But it doesn't mean yours is wrong.
3. I agree with you that there should be a comma coming after "in addition". And, here is the reference for usage of plus: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/plus Please have a look at the "Usage Note" part, I think you would like to reconsider the way you use plus.
4. I agree with you "I would like only the game consoles to be returned" is correct.
5. The last one is also a better choice of words case. Although "in case" could be seen as the same as "if" in this sentence (grammatically it is correct and it is used as well), as you will find if you google it, most people use "if" rather than "in case". I believe a good translation also requires a better understanding of choosing the most appropriate word. As for "please contact me", "please feel free to contact me" may sound more polite and kinder than "please contact me".
   

Thank you for sharing different ideas.
