I might have brought this problem up some years back but it has reared its ugly head again.

I have received an order for a book I sold some time back. Obviously I could not find the book. I checked as to when it was listed. It was 10th April 2009.Strange, or maybe not, nearly 200 hundred books were listed or relisted within an hour on that day. In a couple of minutes over 50 were relisted= all different titles. This is the third book order I have received over the past couple of weeks for books listed on the same day.

I contacted Amazon support and received a phone call back. I explained the problem and the person I spoke to checked my inventory for that day and saw the problem. she said she would refer it to the correct dept. I was concerned that my metrics would take a hit. She told me to put zero next to all the books listed on that day so that no more orders would come in. Which is what I did. I will delete them just to make sure.

Of course, what happened? Just been informed that the book is available and that if I cancel the order my metrics will be affected.

There you go.

Any help out there?
