  • Has anyone managed to use a Gift Card as payment, if so at what time?

    I'm wondering if the GC payment method is slower than CC and might have prevented me from getting one.

    • +1

      I have used gift to save another 10% with no issues. Although it took me 3 attempts. First attempt I added item in my card and in third attempt, I manage to get it. I think GC will be faster. Not sure though

  • +2

    Seller is adding and removing $10 shipping fee. It is a good idea to check the listing 3 minutes before, re-apply the "PODAIR" code and it will add or remove shipping charges depending on the current listing. This way, you can avoid one extra step at next 00. All the best guys. Make sure, payment is ready and code is there and keep on clicking purchase button from 1:58

    • +1

      But says free shipping for plus members that sounds like a bit of a scam

      • +1

        I think eBay will have to refund the postage for many users.

    • +1

      I'd just happily pay the extra $10, then after the item is shipped, contact ebay and get the refund.

  • I got mine for $99 by using the method of leaving the failed 12pm attempt in my cart and button mashing "buy it now" at 1pm. I was 96th out of the 100, so just made it. Good luck everyone.

  • No stock

  • Watched the AirPods from 12:55PM AEST onwards.

    Since then, no changes to number of units sold (401). They didn’t drop anything for the 1PM session.

    • 401 units sold, which sounds about right as there has been 4 sessions from 10am.

    • If you look closely, according to ebay’s timestamps there was a heap of them sold within 5 mins before 1pm.

      Guess it’s just a bad synchro.

      • You mean 5 seconds?

        • Maybe seconds, maybe minutes - I can’t remeber now and can’t check the history page. But it’s all there.

      • You’re right - my bad.

  • +1

    Going back through the buying history, there a plenty of new accounts getting in on this deal.

    • +2

      Yeah, I noticed that was well. Most likely new accounts created for bots.

    • +1

      That’s super interesting, actually.

  • Google Home Hub sold out :(

  • Operation: GiveMySelfRSI…. COMMENCE

    • DENIED

  • +1

    Nearly that time again. Good luck to all.

    • +1

      prepare for another wave of whinging

  • Took me two hours to get everything set up. Spamming the buy button at 1:59 non-stop. Good thing for fast work internet.

  • Literally all but 1 sold before 2pm. what.

    • +5

      Seller updated the listing again so my saved cart f***ed up too.

    • +1

      Apparently, it starts at 1.59.50 instead of 2pm.

  • +1

    Boy am I glad to be sitting this out now that I was successful at 1PM.
    Good luck all.

    • Hi mate, what payment method did u use? Paypal or CC? Does it make difference?

      • CC, not sure if it makes a difference. I chose CC to minimise redirects to Paypal for approval though.

  • +1

    Got one :)

    • When did you press confirm, at 2:00pm on the dot or 10 seconds beforehand? :o

      • from 1:57pm i kept hitting button over and over was already in the to pay from hours earlier

  • +1

    Yes. I got one!!!!

    • how?

      • I got into the buy it now section and it sold out at 1:00pm and then put in all my information and spammed confirm purchase at 1:59pm. It's a two-hour process if you want a higher chance to buy the airpods.

  • Sold in nano seconds at 14:00

  • WTF Gone before 2PM

  • hahaha far out… all gone, I didn't even get a refreshed page to say in stock, just went from 401 sold to 501 haha

  • +2

    Purchased! Went through at approx. 1:59:55

    • did you have to previously add them to the cart? or you did everything in one go?

  • +1

    Been trying since 10am and finally got one! Had to spam confirm and buy button since 1:59:30

  • Missed out again.

  • +2

    3rd time lucky! Thanks so much for the killer tips everyone!

    • Problem is everyone is now using those killer tips, now it's even crazier :)

  • Gone in 2 seconds

  • Aaand it's gone.

  • -7

    Litrelly all item 100 sold in around a second…. This is 100% dodgy attempt by seller.

    • +6

      No it's not, there's thousands of people attempting to buy, of course it'll sell out quickly.

      Can you not see all the successful buyers just in here?

      • +4

        Look at who upvoted oliman's comment lol (and all other neg comments)… says a lot about entitlement :)

        Hello theearth.

    • +2

      not sure how you can blame the seller. This was all eBays clever marketing tactics look at the amount of traffic it is creating away from Amazons Prime Day.

      I get a laugh every time I miss out, and I've been trying since 10am, and yes I just missed out also, again.

  • +1

    Got a refreshed page, but sold out by the time i hit buy now

    • +1

      Do not close that page! You got a chance.. at 2:59PM start spamming "Pay Now"

      • +1

        ah good hint - closed it but will try again in 2 hours time! cheers.

        • +2

          No, there is no need to wait for 2 hours. Go to your browser history and find the last checkout page like this, click it.

          • @JadaJ: the one that says:

            "This item isn't available in the requested quantity. It may have been purchased already, or the listing has expired."?

            and then spam refresh on that?

            • @Domingo: On that page, do you see any checkout details (eg payment detail, address, voucher option and most importanly the Confirm and Pay button)? if yes, apply the voucher again at the bottom and click the pay button, it should refresh and do nothing. If that's what I described here, just ignore the message.

              The message I have got is "We noticed a problem. Please review: your items."

              • @JadaJ: nah just the error message at the top of the screen on a blank page sadly.

          • +1

            @JadaJ: This. Picked up a pair. Cheers.

  • I got this. "This item isn't available in the requested quantity. It may have been purchased already, or the listing has expired.' WTF?

    • Same here

    • Had it at the check out screen, now back to square one…

    • same here. frustrated. i'm giving up lol

  • Everyone seems to already ordered before the time hit 2 pm.

  • +2

    finally got it to the confirm and pay screen! 2:59pm here i come

    • I am on the same page. Do you think it will work? I believe we will have to start from again. Little confused

  • +1

    Got a pair just now. Did as above sat on checkout page from previous hour. Spammed the pay now button and got it.

  • +4

    Alright managed to get it into my cart and have applied the discount. Ready to spam the crap out of it in the next 3 windows. Wish me luck.

    • Likewise at this end , hoping for the best

      • -1

        Good luck mate. I believe we will all get one by 5pm :) #manVSbots

        • +1

          To the bot who downvoted me. Nice try. You may take our airpods, but you'll never take our prime memberships!

  • +2

    Leaving it in my cart didn’t work now. All ready to go but came up with a the seller made some changes to the item.

    • Yep that's what happened to me.

  • +1

    Success!!! Been on since the first pair - so happy right now.

  • +2

    I finally got a pair. Started hitting confirm at 01:58, and didn't stop until it said it worked.

  • +1

    I had it on the Buy Now page, but when I clicked confirm and pay, it said the seller made a change to the listing even though there was none? And that just happened to be the moment it sold out.

  • Missed again in seconds, unbelievable

  • eBay seems to be successful at diverting attention away from Amazon with minimal stock
    They are the new catch of the day!

  • I kept clicking Confirm and Pay and got
    "We noticed a problem. Please review: your items."

    • I start clicking confirm and pay at 13:59:00 and got through 13:59:40 approx

  • Managed to get one on this round. Had the AirPods in my basket and just spammed it from 1:59:30 onwards. I think my order went through around 1:59:50 so it looks as though they don’t get updated right on the hour.

  • spam the pay now button but then it just goes no longer available - must have just missed it.

  • It says item is not available when I clicked buy it now. I was not even taken to the checkout page like I was before. What' up with that?

    • Shouldn't have left the checkout page the first time you got to it! That's the key!

      • I was in the checkout page at 12pm and went for the 1 pm lot but after spamming it kiced me out and said item not available. So I guess only people in the checkout page can get the deal, kinda silly.

  • +4

    The amount of work time I have wasted at the top of each hour trying to get a pair of these is ridiculous, my time would have been better spent earning money and buying a pair full price…. yet again I didn't even get as far as getting them in the cart. By the time I had clicked on the buy it now it was all over and 501 now sold. What an absolute joke. These sort of games by ebay are really making me put Amazon as my first choice buying platform. Nice work ebay.

  • +1

    Probably no chance to get one if you don't already have one in your cart

    • +1

      If only we can get as far as getting to the shopping cart.

  • +1

    This is insane, constantly refreshing, as soon as Buy Now popped up I clicked it but didn't even load into cart just said straight away that there was a problem with the quantity..

  • Just got one by smashing the pay now button from ~13:59:00. Had to hit quickly and firmly. It seems the stock was added manually instead of programmed release as my order went through about 15sec before 2 o'clock.

  • Thanks for the tips all - finally snared a pair!

  • +1

    got one
    first click shows seller has made a change then kept clicking

    • +1

      Lucky you, I also got the seller has made changes prompt but no cigar

      • Yep. The heart rate went up when it started taking a while to think about it as well. The disappointment is real.

  • sold out in 14 seconds, actually all but 1 sold before 2pm.
    started from 13:59:48, and last one sold 14:00:02

    • 13:59:48 is mine transaction
      Keep clicking Confirm and Pay on checkout screen from 1pm session
      GOT IT Now

  • +3

    Woohoo!!! I snagged a pair!!!

    I pretty much followed the comments of unco.

    You need to prepare for the next hour by getting to he confirm and pay screen, I also changed payment to CC instead of paypal. Then 1 minute before the hour just keep clicking confirm and pay. And I got it.

    Good luck all!
