You would think in this computer oriented age there would be a way to stop that, if that was their intention. Seems like it's probably not.....GET THE MONEY.
Hasn't happened to me but then I no longer order all that much .
A number of possible reasons some legit and some not so much.

It could simply be the web sight is not being kept up to date with actual inventory.

I am no computer wiz but while probably doable, a system that not only tracks inventory against shipments daily and recalculates daily, BUT also then purges the entire website inventory listings daily , is likely a fairly complex algorithm. And also likely and added expense of updating software and or computers which many businesses are well behind the curve in doing

On the other hand it could be another form of bait and switch and would seem to skirting the edge of possible fraud ???

As was asked is this from one particular retailer or several ?
