One person complained on DownDetector, "Adding items to my cart and then when I go to check out it says the items are no longer available. I go and select something else that is similar for my needs and go back to check out and the same thing again... item no longer available. I'm unable to complete any purchase."
Another added, "Can't add anything to my cart. Tells me item is no longer available on every item. Removes things from my cart and send to save for later or deletes it completely. Unable to shop or check out. Everything shows unavailable no matter what I search for. Extremely frustrating."
