E.g., suppose you have Inventory Control set for a product with 5 units left in stock. Buyer A adds 3 units of that item to their cart. Buyer B can also add 3 items to their cart, because Buyer A has not actually purchased anything yet and may not ever do so (buyers "window shop" all the time by adding things to a cart and then abandoning their cart without buying during that visit). When Buyer A takes their 3-unit order to checkout, if their payment is completed before Buyer B proceeds to checkout, then Buyer B would see the order quantity in their cart automatically revised down to 2 units; however, if Buyer A's payment is NOT completed before Buyer B also takes their 3-unit order to checkout, then both orders would be placed for 3 units, resulting in an Inventory count of -1 after we receive those payment confirmations, and subsequent orders for that item would not go through, due to being Out Of Stock.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4078/pg/0#post13089 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4078/pg/0#post13089 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:35:54 GMT A few months ago I put up items for sale on my site and set the max quantity to 10 at one per person.
The items sold out quickly and my account began selling into the negative. Luckily I pulled it while it was at -3 items.
I had to issue a few refunds which was quite frustrating.
What caused this? Did I not have something checked?]]> E-junkie Discussions; PAULKAIJU
