Moved to Forum: Original Link

I was looking for some cheap powerballs and found these. Don't forget cashbacks.

EDIT - As has been pointed out by a few comments, this may be a price error and could get cancelled. We'll just have to wait and see.

EDIT 2 - Orders are now being cancelled. Make sure to leave negative feedback as Julz explained in an older post.

julz on 24/05/2018 - 22:09
Please make sure you leave negative seller feedback so they can’t use this as an opportunity to boost their Amazon rankings. You can do it via your Cancelled orders section

EDIT 3 - Reply from Amazon Support:

I have checked and see that the item is sold and fulfilled by the third party seller.
However they have cancelled order because seller doesn't have the stock with them, so the order has been cancelled.
I'm so sorry about that on their behalf.
However as the seller has violated the rules I have forwarded the request to seller support team, We'll make sure necessary actions would be taken against the sellers.
This will be taken seriously has this is reflecting on the Amazon's business and customer's trust.
Thanks for bringing this to our notice.
I would’ve head busted if it would've happened with me. I appreciate your patience and kind understanding in this case.
Please do not worry about the feedback given, this will surely be taken care and we'll make sure necessary action would be taken against the seller.
I have already forwarded the request for you. Please be assured this will be taken care.
To compensate for all the inconvenience you have faced,I'd like to issue a $5 promotional credit as a goodwill gesture and apology from my side.

      They're now under 90% positive feedback, as such are banned under posting guidelines. :)

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:posting_guidelines_on…

      The seller must have a minimum of 90% feedback, based on at least 10 ratings (exceptions below).
      In the absence of sufficient feedback, an exception will be made if the seller has a website
      An exception will also be made for items that are fulfilled by Amazon
      Overseas users will not be able to post Amazon Australia deals.

        Well, for their Amazon Australia marketplace account, as at 15:30+1000, they're above 90% NEGATIVE feedback today (99.5%) and are almost at the inverse of this requirement for the past 30 days, with 85% NEGATIVE feedback in the past 30 days, 73% neg <90d, and 43% neg <12m.

    Livechatted Amazon support and got the standard "Seller was out of stock" line. Explained the seller has a history of doing this, as well as the recent feedback shows they clearly had more than an issue of stock. Amazon rep said:

    "However as the seller has violated the rules I have forwarded the request to seller support team, We'll make sure necessary actions would be taken against the sellers.
    This will be taken seriously has this is reflecting on the Amazon's business and customer's trust.

        Interesting that they only gave you $5 as compo. Amazon support gave me $15, or at least said they did.

        Also said that he has reported the seller's practices after I started leaning on the competition & consumer act.

        • geech on 14/12/2018 - 12:00

          I only got $5 too /sadface

          Interesting that they used word-for-word responses for both of us.

          Hopefully something comes of it

          • Forphucsake on 14/12/2018 - 12:01

            @geech: Even the same spelling mistake.

            • geech on 14/12/2018 - 12:07

              @Forphucsake: Yeah it's interesting. I even got the following lines (word for word):

              Please do not worry about the feedback given, this will surely be taken care and we'll make sure necessary action would be taken against the seller.
              I have already forwarded the request for you. Please be assured this will be taken care.

              The weird thing is he only mentioned that after offering free shipping for alternative (More expensive finish tabs), and I said:

              "No thankyou. The price of that product isn't competitive with alternative places. As long as feedback is received, and hopefully some kind of action is taken against the seller, I think that's the best outcome"

              Must be a chatbot!

    At 11 01 by Amazon.
    Extremely poor seller. Amazon have wiped off order, rather than cancelling. No traceabilty. I wonder if this keeps KG Electronics sweet with Amazon? Letalone it could lead to fraudulent activities with no exterbal trace. Approx 24 hours after order is poor customer service

        Yes. In cancelled orders only. Strange way Amazon do entries, you have a choice of all, but it excludes cancelled. But there is still no debit or credits showing, so cannot see money and they have closed off feedback. So KB live on wiithout mich negative feedback.I have received NO compensation, although I have requested.

            Given the usual discretionary limits for Good Will credit at Amazon AU are $20 and $50, I'm very surprised they did not offer more.

    “So sorry that your order was cancelled and refunded in full, we were advised by Amazon to cancel this order, as they made a mistake on the listing.

    I believe they should have contacted you to advise that they have requested us to do this, sorry if they haven't.

    If you would like to know more details please contact Amazon directly and they will be able to advise you exactly what has happened.

        • o53djz7qTPY4der on 14/12/2018 - 18:35

          I don't know if I agree with you. I haven't claimed any free credit from Amazon. I knew this would be cancelled.

          They've made an error and as such should own up to it, bear the cost of that error or both.

          If I walked into a store and bought these at $29 there is little recourse the retailer would have once they had taken my money. The same should apply online. The only reason that this continues is because retailers can make silly mistakes like this and then just cancel all the orders and not be out of pocket.

          Whether this was a ploy to get up Amazon's rankings or a mistake, I am unsure. However, I am sure that money talks. If Amazon made the retailer fulfil the orders then this would not happen again. Amazon, of course can't and wont do that. Therefore, the only way to make sure retailers do not play this silly game is to leave appropriate feedback. In this case, negative.
