Orders may be automatically cancelled due to several reasons: payment verification failure, product going out of stock after order placement, delivery pincode not serviceable, or seller being unable to fulfill the order. If your order is cancelled automatically, you'll receive a notification with the reason and your refund will be processed immediately to the original payment source.

In rare cases, a product may go out of stock after you've placed an order if inventory is shared between multiple orders.
