@JPBookFinds (JPBookFinds) posted a new topic, subject "Anybody else getting orders for INACTIVE items?". It read:

   I have two orders for books I no longer have; they're marked INACTIVE, and have been for some time now!!! Makes me look bad!!

Then @davidsbook (davidsbook) said

    No orders at all right now. Definitely slower than last year at this time, even though the economy is better.

@davidsbook (davidsbook) replied

    AS far as orders for inactive items, while it happens once in a great while, it is less of a problem here than on any of the other sites where we sell books.

So @JPBookFinds (JPBookFinds) replied

    Amazon looking into it…

    And they have been looking into it for years. Eventually they will tell you that it is not their fault.
    
    But the cumulative experience of a lot of people on these boards says that it is Amazon's fault. It has happened to too many of us.
    
    Your best bet is to delete your product when quantity goes to zero. It has stopped hapening to me since I started doing that regularly.
