Stockout Suppression
Walmart removes a listing from search results entirely when its inventory hits zero — even if the listing has an active Buy Box from another seller.
Recovers within hours of restock. Stockouts cost rank momentum that takes 2-3 weeks to recover; better to set up low-stock alerts (Pro+ feature).
