If the seller is based in china or the product is not fulfilled by Amazon let the buyer beware he may have to wait/fight for his money back, and the likelihood of it shipping is slim to none.

Please be considerate to a new Amazon seller that made these price mistakes.

He will have to cancel all these orders, as there is no way he can fulfill them at these prices.

By canceling all these orders his ORD (Order defect rate) will go very low... and his future of selling on Amazon will be greatly damaged.

I suggest people not to be greedy / selfish on account of others just to get a compensation credit of a few dollars.

I would suggest anyone that ordered to cancel orders on their own.

He has to be really dumb to make so many mistakes. You can't believe this guy is for real can you? Amazon probably won't even give anything for these.

He seems to be a legit seller. I assume a mistake was made uploading the pricing for the products.

He has about 2,000 items listed

This isn't a question of ethics.

I assume people did not realize that they would be causing damage to someone, and I am just pointing it out.

[The ethics Q' would be if ordering just for the $10 Amazon (where a seller would not suffer damage) is ethical or not... But that is not for this thread]

I'm sitting out on this one. I do not want a part on creating a new anti-semite when all these orders are from Jewish names in Jewish neighborhoods!!

I bought one of the wheelchairs.  Amazon sent me an email saying they cancelled the order.  What can I ask Amazon to provide to compensate me for my tremendous disappointment? What is reasonable? $100 credit?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Just curious, where does the line get drawn ? Only brand new sellers ? Any mistake ? Any seller that suddenly gets bombarded with orders & has to cancel them might affect his future selling.

Amazon is very strict with any 3rd party seller that cancels orders, even big sellers could get shut for to many cancellations
