It seems that is incorrect. Someone in the comments section posted this:
apparently with paypal and some bank/credit cards they will set aside the funds for 30 days (and not charge the account). If the vender In this case TRU) does not claim their funds within 30 days, the order is often cancelled. Not sure why TRU put up the pre-order so far in advance then....However After I got my coupons back, I went back to TRU.com and just reordered.
It looks like orders are being cancelled because TRU arent claiming the funds (as TRU policy is to ask for pre authorization but dont take money until the order is available) and so the providers are cancelling them, not that TRU are cancelling orders because they dont have enough stock.
