    They are the same thing. I have 3 dozen eggs for sale. Buy em or don’t. I might get more. I might not.

    How do you expect them to know how many of an item physically exists in the world?

    It’s just a store like every other store. The seller sends their inventory to Amazon. Amazon stores it, and then ships it. The Seller doesn’t tell Amazon how many total it has.

    You don’t see how many the seller has. You don’t see how many the manufacturer has sitting in their warehouse. You don’t see how many of this item were ever made. You don’t see if the manufacturer can make more, or how many people they will potentially make in their entire existence.

    You just see how many Amazon has in stock for sale right now.
