Amazon allegedly cancels GPU orders and closes accounts
A Reddit user named @nicksaraev reports that Amazon canceled four orders for NVIDIA DGX Spark units placed on October 31 and subsequently closed the buyer’s account. The user says Amazon performed a verification process before deciding to cancel the orders and shut down the account. The incident is unconfirmed as a system glitch or intentional policy.
Key points
- Amazon canceled four DGX Spark orders on Oct 31 and closed the buyer’s account.
- Tim Sweeney’s two NVIDIA GPU orders were canceled, but his account remained open.
- It is unclear whether Amazon’s cancellations are a glitch or an anti‑scalper measure.
Sweeney noted that Amazon was accepting regular orders but canceling them just before shipment.
Compute hardware is in high demand and scarce, so Amazon may be limiting how many units a single customer can acquire. The post does not confirm whether the cancellations are a glitch or an anti‑scalper measure, and the user is advised to try ordering a single unit first.
