    Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Robotic Vacuum Cleaner was $386 on Shopping Square, but is now $429. With 20% off it's now $343, which is cheaper than before, but I was holding out for 20% of the non-jacked price.

    Not that the ACCC will probably do anything but I reported JW Computers.

    I watched them jack the price of the ASUS PG279Q Monitors from 1200~ to 1241 (negligible I know - but still).

    When I sent them a message telling them I'd caught them out and asking them why, they changed the item to appear as Out of Stock even though my screenshots have it saying that there were 10 available and no additional purchases were made.

    • nnolan on 16/01/2018 - 11:31

        Why are you posting false information?

        Here is your comment - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/5533008/redir

        Clearly your maths is an issue or you're deliberately misleading people.

        Pricks! Reporting jw_computers wanted to buy the Acer predeator x34 monitor it was $1,427 20% off brang it down to around 1,117 now they have jacked the price to $1,494. How are they getting away with this

        As cypher67 pointed out - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/5533510/redir - The price increase was $1427 to $1442 which is $15 not the $67 that you claimed and it's at least $100 cheaper than anyone else.

        Good luck with your ACCC complaint when you can't even get a basic fact correct. Another empty claim of price jacking and another empty claim of a ACCC complaint.

    ShoppingSquareAustralia has definitely jack up their Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Gen 1 price; I still remember it should be early $300 mark but that is no longer the case.

      You use PayPal and insert the code before you finalise the deal. But those printers are sold out so how are you purchasing it now?

      • angelbaby on 16/01/2018 - 12:32

        • Maverick-au on 16/01/2018 - 12:34

          I think I bought the last one.

          Have you paid already? It's complicated if you have so best to contact ebay and tell them what happened and they may apply the 20% discount otherwise you will have to contact the seller who may be willing to cancel the printer sale. But if he does it's unlikely they will relist again at that price as it's already half what other sellers are selling it for.

        I'd buy from PCCG just based on principle. These sellers just raise the prices so the discount only makes it slightly cheaper. It's not really 20% off at all.

    All these people crying because they adjusted their prices. It was pointed out that the seller wears 10% of the cost of these sales. In the example above with the X34 they increased their price by 2%. You are still getting it over $100 cheaper than anywhere else on the market, there is still bargains.

      It's more then 10%. They have to wear the 20% reduction themselves PLUS ebay charge them their regular fees on the PRE DISCOUNT PRICE not on the price with the discount.

      • Aneurism on 16/01/2018 - 18:46

        I'm not crying.. I'm just saying for the most part it costs the same for me to go to a CPL, MSY or PC Case gear and buy the same product for about the same price or less. Which makes this sale a waste of time in my eyes.

  • trevor99 on 16/01/2018 - 12:09

    No need to complicate it:

    • Have expectations of around 5% off real prices when using the 20% off code and you won't be upset.
    • Make doubly sure the code is applied before paying otherwise you could pay 15% over.
    • Price check everything with MSY or similar. If no advantage don't buy.

  • [Deactivated] on 16/01/2018 - 12:18

    definitely misleading pricing. i bought a lenovo mixx 700 i7 LTE for $835 - 10% ~ $751. now it is $1088 - 20% = $870. ~$120 more than what i paid at 10%.

    my comment form previous post.
    I recently bought a Lenovo hybrid from JW computers when eBay had 10%off. I was bummed when I saw 20% off eBay including jw computers. But when I actually looked at the listing JW price hacked the item by 20% so now it's more expensive then the price I paid. I don't understand the eBay tactics. As always I rely on ozbargain if anything is a good deal it will come up here.

          So why doesn't the ACCC do anything despite the hundreds of people that complain each time there is a sale? Either the people are liars and don't make a complaint or the ACCC does nothing because this is not against the law. Maybe you should quote the actual breaches of the law?

          @Maverick-au:
          The ACCC has fined Kogan for doing the very same thing, the ACCC has limited resources so just because they have not gotten a settlement with an ebay seller in the last year does not mean it is not against the law (nor does it mean that the ACCC is 100% not currently going after someone for it)!

          Hell, a real lawyer on Whirlpool even advised a client that it is against the law! (and I would take the ACCC and lawyers word over childish contrarians!).

          Common sense has nothing to do with these laws and no-one can post the relevant sections that apply to these sales. Retailers can change prices as they have to especially in the case of the GPUs.

          refer to section 157

          The sale period was pre defined. Once the sale began, the shown listing prices of the vendors would be considered normal price.

          By increasing the price of the product one could argue that a bait and switch tactic was applied. By using a sale to entice and attract the customer, the product was switched for one at a higher price within the sale period.

          Although the percentage advertised itself remained consistent, the base price was not..and increased as the sale progressed. Retailers can discount further down.. (although in some cases over discounting can also be illegal).

          Bait and Switch how? The goods are not advertised and it was not one retailer involved in the sale. How did the store entice you into their "store" with a price that was advertised that was not obtainable?

          The ACCC don't care, our so called consumer laws are useless and they were written for bricks and mortar stores.

          @Maverick-au:

          It was and is advertised on ebays banner page.. It's the same as putting a sign on a store window saying 20% off everything..and when you walk in prices have been jacked up 20% as well.

          https://pages2.ebay.com.au/Buyer_coupons/pctech?_trkparms=%2…

          There is also a clear sale period as per the terms of the sale as per the above link with the participating stores clearly defined. The participating stores could have chosen not to be listed or not to participate. So they cannot deny or defer responsibility to ebay itself. Unless of course ebay did not do due diligence of disclosing the fore mentioned sale dates to the participating stores..(which is highly unlikely and improbable). But if that were to have happened, then those stores would need to litigate separately against ebay.

          Prices were increased within that clear sale period. When someone has a sale and advertises a sale, the common expectation is for prices to go down and NOT up.. This is why the practice is deceptive and is a bait and switch.

    I hate the fact other sellers are selling the same product for considerably less than the ones included in the 20% coupon. Almost makes me want to buy from them based on principle even if they are slightly more.

      I just want a 10% off sitewide… So pissed they ended the Boxing Day one early.

    Futo Online also price jacked.. 1080 Ti Gaming X.. It wouldn't be far fetched to think that they would have done the same for everything else. Personally I'd rather buy directly from a real store than buy a price jacked one online that pretty much works out to be the same price.

    Shopping express also price jacked. Couple of days ago the 6tb Ironwolf drive was $270. Now $309. I know because I'm building a NAS and took all the WD red and ironwolf prices down. Funny that they have all jumped up!

    managed to grab a ASUS ROG Swift PG278QR for just over $800 :)

      Nice! Man if the IPS variant of that monitor went for that price I would have jumped on.

      • scrottyB on 17/01/2018 - 20:07

        Yeah I just realised its not the IPS version :( I had that model number written down and got too trigger-happy lol. Oh well, should still be good.

          I ended up settling for an Acer XB271​HU for $811.20 delivered knowing that it's definitely not the cheapest it's ever been. Needed a monitor urgent so bit the bullet. I wanted the IPS Asus variant of yours really bad but the difference in price to the Acer would have been a few hundreds or so even after discount!

          @watty: Wanted to buy this very same monitor but figured if its only a $90 saving from buying direct from PLE at "RRP" $899, might just do that instead. Dont want to mess around if I need to return it back over east.

          Enjoy the monitor!!

          @starburstyellow: Ah fair enough, I'm lucky enough to live close to the store I bought from.

    I had been watching an item from DCXpert since expiration of the last code and purchased it using the code today, there did not jack their prices - also they shipped it within 3 or so hours after purchase!
