Amazon cancels Nvidia GPU and DGX Spark orders and locks accounts

Reports note that Amazon has halted orders for graphics cards and small AI devices, while certain user profiles have been locked. On October 31, user @nicksaraev had four DGX Spark systems canceled before Amazon notified him that his account was closed. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney faced a similar issue when Amazon canceled his order for two Nvidia graphics cards shortly before delivery, though his account stayed active. Amazon gave no specific reason to the affected buyers in their correspondence.

The DGX Spark features a 20-core ARM processor, 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory, and a 4 TB SSD. Amazon has not publicly explained the cancellations or confirmed whether the actions stem from a technical glitch or an effort to curb the resale of scarce hardware.
