Offences
If the seller is in business (rather than a private seller), he may have committed a criminal offence if he:
advertises a misleading price;
If you feel that any of the above could apply, you should report the matter to your local Trading Standards Service before you return to the trader.

When SplashDVD went under I had an order outstanding for £9.99. My credit card company refunded this to me no problem at all.0 -

However to do that would lose ebuyers commerical base, people know who ebuyer is for good or bad. Yes they do offer a cheap service on many products, but that doesnt make them a good business. They are no fills, offering products as cheap as possible, that is their niché. If they "folded" and and emerged as UK ebuyer as you mentioned, dont you think this scandal would attract legal attention, not to mention press attention. This would either be severly detrimental to their new image or enough to close their new busniess front down.
They are ruthless, as are most companies, ultimately they want a profit. Why shouldn't I want a "profit" and be ruthless, i am within my legal rights!
happens all the time with computer companies and Travel companies, if a travel company is going to go bust normally 1 week in September iw when they do it, With Ebuyer Uk I suspect they would transfer their customer database to their USA office and continue to run their operation from there, here all they need is a warehouse and a smaill office which wouldn't be customer facing
I see from your last point you are mot interested if they made a mistake or not you just want to profit from their mistake, since they have already refunded your money0 -

one of the regs there, under Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 (E Commerce Regs), states they must have an email address! Not something I can find on the ebuyer website at all...0 -

I didn't get refunded by splash on my hsbc switch. Generally there's no such protection on debit cards.0
