Amazon pricing errors
Amazon is the most common source of pricing errors due to its massive catalog and automated pricing algorithms. With millions of products updated constantly, price glitches happen daily - from electronics listed at 90% off to household items priced at a fraction of their value. Amazon typically honors these orders once confirmed and shipped.
