E-commerce
July 1, 2026
"I ordered on Amazon, cancelled due to out-of-stock even though it was in stock." "The site says available, the marketplace refuses." "Are you offering a refund or an alternative?" Three tickets where a poorly synchronized, poorly handled marketplace stock generates a dispute, chargeback, and loss of channel trust.
The incorrect stock support after e-commerce marketplace sync covers post-order stockouts, resync delay, and customer options for refund, alternative, or waiting. Distinct from internal ERP sync (#753): here, the focus is cross-channel marketplace stock discrepancy visible to the customer.
This guide #755 covers policy MKPLSTK-SUP, flow MS-1 to MS-8, and matrix MKPLSTK-MAP. Future customer service pair MKPLSTK bot (#756).
Summary
Why does incorrect marketplace stock generate tickets?
The customer orders on Amazon or the website, and receives a cancellation due to out of stock or delay issues. The agent denies the sync discrepancy, promises delivery outside of policy, or ignores the marketplace channel. Without a SOP, support confuses internal ERP and marketplace listings or omits refund options instead of waiting.
Five typical frictions in marketplace inventory sync
Post-order stockout : incorrect marketplace stock due to sync map lag
Channel discrepancy : diverging availability between website vs marketplace map
Unclear options : refund or waiting alternatives are not defined in the map
Opaque resync delay : customer waits without map cite SLA
Marketplace dispute : channel rules vs brand policy map
Marketplaces require reliable stock updates and documented cancellation delays (Amazon, inventory management 2026). Without MKPLSTK-MAP, support and marketplace ops diverge on customer resolution.
MKPLSTK #755 vs ERPSYNC #753, AVAIL #271, marketplace rules and bot #756
Six contents, six distinct channel stock journeys.

Essential MKPLSTK macros
Four macro agents stock marketplace sync incorrect.
MKPLSTK-OOS-01
"Order [order_ref map] channel [marketplace_channels map]: out of stock sync. [oos_resolution_policy_copy map.] Options: refund alternative wait. RESOLUTION-CITE."
MKPLSTK-REFUND-01
"Out of stock refund: [refund_policy_copy map.] Delay [stock_sync_delay_sla_copy map.] Channel [CHANNEL-CITE map.]"
MKPLSTK-ALT-01
"Equivalent alternative: [alternative_sku_policy_copy map.] [Proposed SKU map.] Customer chooses refund or alternative map."
MKPLSTK-WAIT-01
"Wait for restock: [wait_restock_policy_copy map.] Max delay [stock_sync_delay_sla_copy map.] Free cancellation if delay exceeded map. SLA-CITE."
Edge cases: FBA, channel dispute, B2B and internal ERP
Five cases outside the standard macro marketplace stock.
Third-party Amazon FBA: exclusions_copy third-party fulfillment channel map
SLA marketplace dispute: MKPLRULES-REROUTE distinct channel stock resolution rules
Internal ERP Sync: ERPSYNC753-REROUTE #753 distinct marketplace listing
Own site stock: distinct third-party channel display error
Multi-channel order: channel_lookup_policy_copy third-party channel map identifier
Marketplace stock = documented pending alternative refund resolution. ERP or channel dispute = distinct reroute playbooks.
Essential marketplace stock KPIs
Five MKPLSTK management metrics.
mkplstk_resolution_cite_rate: RESOLUTION-CITE / total mkplstk oos
mkplstk_refund_rate: refund chosen / total map out of stock
mkplstk_alternative_accept_rate: alternative accepted / proposed map
mkplstk_channel_misroute_rate: ERP routed on marketplace / total low target
mkplstk_dispute_rate: channel dispute / total mkplstk oos map
Target: mkplstk_resolution_cite_rate higher than 95% and mkplstk_channel_misroute_rate decreasing post-training.
