cash flow boosting

Over the last few weeks, I have come across various sellers that sell items they do not have, and delay refunding buyers for as long as possible. I have been reliably informed the reason for this is to increase cashflow for failing sellers. Has anyone else come across this?

Given that out of stock cancellations give a seller a defect, that is a very odd 'business plan'.

 

Who reliably informed you this is what is happening?

I really cant believe that, financial suicide really and not ideal for future sales.
