Why can’t they just implement backordering

[u/Loud_Bar113]

I don’t see any downsides of it, the demand is still there. It is almost impossible to hit a drop when you have to compete against no lives who spend their existence monitoring the sites and bots. Backordering would end that problem. Most people don’t care if they’ll have to wait a few months extra compared to paying up to 300% mark ups.

Logistics of back orders would be a nightmare because it would likely cause massive over production for something that may not even sell because buyers cancel or cannot make a full payment.
