I would agree that this rarely occurs, except if the float is extremely thin.

I tried shorting AMZN last week with Brown and co. and tehy said they did not have any shares available to short.

I have had no problem shorting any other equities.

Could it be that they wanted to protect me from a recall of the shorted shares due to the thin float of AMZN ?
