One person reported on DownDetector, “Products not showing prices and other details. Some products are not showing up.”
Another wrote, “Multiple pages are showing 404. Like it isn’t one or two, it is like more than half of what I click on. Also, no products seem to be showing their prices until I click to add it to the cart. Really weird.”
A third person added, “What is wrong with Amazon? Cannot add anything to my cart. Can’t change delivery address. Can’t checkout. Keep getting the “something went wrong” dogs.”
Another reported, “Everything is either showing out of stock, no pricing listed, or I’m taken to an error page with the dog avatar.”
Amazon has not yet confirmed the outages or provided a timeline for when the issues might be resolved.
