    there is a high possibilty that people at ebuyer are/will be reading this thread.

    they will just say its a genuine mistake and not honour any orders.

    id hate to see a company go bust due to a mistake. i dont think its right.

    as long as they send a polite email back you cant complain too much (can you ?).


    i wonder who orderd the most amount. (one in my case )

    They wont honour it so whats the point
    I hope they do but im not a gambler
    on page 2 the stock was going fast down to 10 at one point now its back up to 76? doesnt if should abit odd to you?

    I do agree it does look a bit odd, two errors in one night maybe. First being a manual one in the set price and the other electronic in their stock system does sound too good to be true. On the other hand I've seen ebuyers stocks go up and down a lot in the past over short periods of time (usually special offers where it looks like they'll sell out, and suddenly they have another 1000), and if it does go pear shaped the chargeback option is always there. I don't hold out a great deal of hope if I'm honest, but it's fun all the same.

    I'm sure there's someone who'd ring up customer services just to check the price is correct, but as they closed their call centre..... or there's email, but they don't take emails related to orders, only enotes which take a week to be answered generally.

    I know ebuyer get alot of stick for their customer services in the pc magazines and online, so I'm kind of interested how they will actually deal with this one if money has been taken etc..

    I think it because it is shipped direct from Samsung to the customer. Therefore once the stock is depleted the system orders more automatically for sale. Hence the stock goes up and down. Only ordered one - payment taken - my Bush flatscreen packed up 2 weeks ago - only 15 months old - so if I manage to get this I'll be a very happy bunny!

    If anyone is feeling particularly "flush" and/or "brave" they could order one from Unbeatable *cough *cough for the grand sum of £298.99. Then all you would have to do within 7 day's of receipt (and subject to the ebuyer being official) is ask them to fullfil their price promise they will then refund the difference (£266.00) + 10% of the difference (£26.60) meaning you pay the grand sum of £6.39 +P&P for your shiny new telly!! :eek:
  • Still available, order confirmed and money taken, order being picked. Lets hope that the humans don't notice until MY(and everyone elses) order despatched.
