How To Find Out of Stock Products on Amazon

It really happens. Amazon, from time to time, goes completely out of stock on items that sell often. Not only does Amazon go out of stock, but sometimes the 3rd party sellers also go out of stock. When nobody is in stock for a product, Amazon usually hides that product page from customer search results. Amazon is all about providing the best customer experience, so they don’t want customers to find product pages of items that are sold out (sold out product = unhappy customer).

But what if you, as a seller, need to find an item on Amazon, but it’s hidden because no one is currently selling it? Also, what if you wanted to find out which items are sold out on Amazon so you can go source those items yourself and meet the demand? Below are two ways to find out of stock products on Amazon:

Manually:

1. On Amazon.com, enter in the search bar the item you are looking for (Note: this works on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or the full Amazon site on your smart phone’s browser app).
2. Scroll through the first few pages of results to see if you can find your item.
3. If you can’t find it, scroll up to the top of the page and pick a category to narrow your search results. Pick the most likely category.
4. After you pick a category, a new search button will appear on the left column. Near the bottom of the “Show Results For” section, you can click the button for “Include Out of Stock.”
5. Now you can scroll through the results again and see the items that are both in and out of stock. The out of stock items will not have a price listed with the image. You might find what you are looking for.
