I think I've used Amazon three times in 12 years ,
If they are out of something that you want to purchase, is there a button or a link or something that you can click on , so that they will notify you when the product becomes available?

I haven't looked specifically for this feature. However, I have never known Amazon to show a listing for an item but then turn around and say it is out of stock. That would seem to render your question moot.

not that I've seen. I just see 2 things

1] "Product not available"

2] so called other sellers who have the product at a huge mark-up. Hint: I generally avoid the other sellers since one of them sold me a counterfeit phone case.

You can make your own with Potatoes, Barley Malt and Yeast.

Just sayin'

I don't know how it happens, but I often get notifications of price reductions on items I have looked it. I'm a Prime member, though.

At first glance, I'd think that those were the ingredients for Potato Beer.

I don’t think you need barley malt if you are using potatoes.

This past Christmas I ordered a John Deere tee shirt for my grandson. It was around 2 weeks before Christmas. Once I choose buy, it showed it was out of stock and have me a choice to cancel or wait to get it in stock. They give you a date they expect it to be in. After a month I cancelled and ordered another item. They don't charge until it ships.

It's happened to me on an item that was $400 less than I had found previously. Placed the order then a few days later received a cancellation notice from the vendor that stated that I had cancelled. Called CS. No help sorry

Yes, if the product is shipped and sold from Amazon, the buy now button is replaced with a notify me button when the item is out of stock.

You'll have to have an account and be logged in.
