# The listing says sold out. Can I still order my cushion?

*Usually, yes. Sold out is a number on a page. Your cushion hasn't been cut yet anyway.*

Also asked as: Why is this item showing sold out?; It says the quantity is no longer available.

> **The quick answer:** Yes, you can usually still order when a listing says sold out or quantity no longer available: the marketplace stock count ran low after many sales, but the cushion can still be made. Message the shop and it restocks the listing, usually the same day. If checkout still fails, it sends you a private custom listing link.

## Key facts

- Sold out is a temporary marketplace stock count, not a production limit.
- The shop restocks listings on request, usually the same day.
- Sizes, colors and options can all be restocked.
- The shop confirms that you picked the right size options.
- If checkout still fails, the shop creates a private custom listing and sends a direct link.
- Rectangular cushion listings offer 2 in, 3 in, 4 in and 5 in thickness options, and each option can be restocked.

## What the listing says, and what happens next

| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Sold out | The stock count ran low after many sales | Message the shop; it restocks, usually the same day |
| Quantity no longer available, at checkout | The count for that item reached zero | The shop refreshes and raises the stock |
| One size or color out of stock | That option's count ran out | Restocked on request; the shop checks your size choice |
| Checkout still refuses after a restock | The listing itself is the obstacle | Ask for a private custom listing and direct link |

## Why a made-to-order cushion can sell out

A listing keeps a count. Every sale lowers it. When it reaches zero, the page says sold out.

The workshop does not keep a shelf of finished cushions waiting for that number. Each one is cut after you order, so the count is paperwork, not foam. A [bench cushion](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/bench-cushions/) in your length is as possible today as it was last week.

Which size were you trying to choose? Put it in the first message.

## Three messages, in order

1. **Say what you want**: Size, color and any option. The [quote checklist](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-quote-what-to-send/) lists the rest.
2. **Wait for the restock**: Usually the same day. The shop also confirms you picked the right size options, which matters when your size sits between two ranges.
3. **If checkout still fails**: The shop makes a private custom listing and sends you the direct link. A size that isn't on the menu goes the same way; see [custom sizes](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-size-cushion-not-on-menu/).

> **Tailor's margin:** A cushion listing that says sold out has usually just run out of stock count; message the shop and it's restocked, often the same day.

> If a made-to-order cushion shows sold out, message the shop: the stock count is refreshed, usually the same day, and a private listing covers the rest.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** This cushion shows sold out. Is it gone for good?

**The workshop's answer:** No. Sold out only means the stock count ran low after a lot of sales; the shop refreshes it quickly so you can order.

**A common question:** Checkout says the quantity is no longer available. What now?

**The workshop's answer:** Message the shop; it refreshes and raises the stock on the listing so you can finish. If it still fails, it creates a private custom listing and sends you a direct link.

**A common question:** The listing won't let me order my sizes. What's wrong?

**The workshop's answer:** Some size options were temporarily out of stock. The shop updated the stock and confirmed the right size options had been picked.

**A common question:** The color I want is out of stock. Will it come back?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. The shop restocks the listing when asked, usually the same day.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Does a sold-out label mean the fabric has run out?

Not on its own. A sold-out label means the listing's stock count ran low, not that the cushion can't be made. Ask the shop about your color and size, and it restocks the listing, usually the same day.

### Should I wait for the listing to restock by itself?

There's no need to wait. Restocking happens when you ask, so send a message with the size, color or option you want; the listing is usually refreshed the same day and you can check out as normal.

### What is a private custom listing?

A listing the shop makes just for your order when normal checkout still fails after a restock. It carries the size and options you agreed on, and the shop sends you a direct link so only you can buy it.
