  • 3 or 4 secs between refreshes this time. Went straight from 501 to 601 sold.

    Was just after 3pm though.

  • Got one!

  • I got some AirPods, same process. Last hour hit buy it now, filled in CC details and this hour mashed the confirm and pay button until it went through.

    Hint, if you need to minimize the browser screen so it doesn't jump around every time you hit the button.

    • I hit buy it now at 3pm and got to the next step, added discount code and credit card but it's stopped there saying

      "We notice a problem. Please review: your items."

      I've left it on that page and will try to confirm and pay at 4pm
      I tried checking my eBay cart on another computer but it shows nothing in my cart.
      I'm hesitant to close that page showing "confirm and pay", could this go through at 4pm?

      Edit: Yes this worked at 4pm! You have to leave the page live and keep refreshing, it wouldn't have worked if I closed the page and tried checking my cart

  • +1

    So shit, been clicking 30s before the hour and wont accept payment.
    Then sold out!

    this is rigged!

    • +1

      Haha same. Now it's put me to the 'This item isn't available in the requested quantity. It may have been purchased already, or the listing has expired' page.

      Looks like my last chance is literally the last train at 5pm. That is if I manage to get it into my cart again.

    • nope, ozbargained :)

    • Don't close that page and refresh on the hour

  • +2

    im done… rather not bother next hr … better things to waste my time on….

  • I was spamming confirm and buy now, but then it took me to another page saying 'This item isn't available in the requested quantity. It may have been purchased already, or the listing has expired', and I've lost the Buy It Now Page…

  • I got order confirmed but nothing in purchase history… ???

    • Happen to me as well,
      How is your order now?
      I don’t get any email….

      • Its a bug which means you didnt get the order unfortunately. I did raise it with ebay but itll likely get nowhere. No email no order.

        • Just have a chat with CS,
          They want me to wait 24 hours, lets see what happen

          • +1

            @WhatILike: They likely wont give you the $99 deal anyways, so id personally save my breath.

            • @ATangk: Any update guys? This happened to me too :(

              • @maybeamacy: No luck, have been trying to chat ebay CS
                They keep saying i didn’t made the order

  • So I managed to click buy it now.

    Redirected to "the item isn't available in the requested quantity"… have i missed it?

  • took me 4 hours to get the order through

  • Sigh… got

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

  • Score! In cart for hours, coupon on but this time I clicked and clicked and clicked, "Listing has been updated", kept clicking… aaaannnnnd… it worked!

    Thanks OP! Good luck all!

  • +1

    Got one, good luck peeps!

  • Was in my cart from 2pm, thought I was in with a chance… then "seller made a change to the listing". Meh…

  • Guys I manage to get one in my card and successfully applied the coupon as well.

    Can I wait in this position and click pay later in next hour?

    Which one to use CC or paypal?

    Thanks for info in advance :)

    • Yes. I did that for the 3pm drop.

      Use CC and spam the confirm, there will be a note saying that the seller made a change but prices should be the same (when the stock replenish).

      • Yeah I already enter the CC info and everything is ready to click.

        Spam the confirm you mean click frequently at around 4 pm?

        • yes. Just keep clicking it, I would start around 3.59pm

          • @jingwen91: Ok Ok will try my best to get on (^_^)

            thanks, will let you know the result :)

            • @shahrah: mine write like this

              Something went wrong. Please try to check out again.

              and now nothing in my card or buy in. its vanished. :(

  • +1

    Got one! about time too because I'd had an 'Earful'

  • i recon its clickbait against amazon but who knows…. good deal if your lucky i suppose

  • +2

    not even one 1 sec and it sold this one is a scam

    • +7

      Mate, you're obviously free to vote as you like. But why call it a scam? Is it the fact you missed out? There are only 100 available each hour. There are literally thousands of people around the country hitting the buy button at the same time. What do you think will happen??

    • Defo not a scam. Just remember that thousands of people in Australia are standing by their computer every hour on the hour hoping to snag this item.
      And you have to be a Plus Member too.
      If you're not a Plus Member then its not going to happen…. which is why I have to miss out .. :(

  • Got the error message at 3:00:01 saying there was an insufficient quantity after clicking buy it now.
    There must be scripts running - no way 100 people got to the button within a second. The quantity purchased jumped to 601 immediately.

    • seller manually updates quantity and they usually do this 30 seconds before.
      hence, you need to refresh page a minute before and as soon as you see buy it now, click on it

      • How? I only get the “Watch” button until the exact time.

        • you need to constantly refresh starting xx:59:00

    • Clearly not, look at the previous comment, people have been trying for hours and get to the checkout page at early hour and only get to spam pay button a minute before 3pm, that's why it's gone within seconds.

    • I managed to get one, I added it to my cart manually the previous hour (was lucky to do that) then filled out all details and applied codes but missed out when I went to confirm, then I simply kept the checkout screen open waiting for the next hour to try again, started clicking 'confirm and pay' about 30 seconds beforehand and got lucky

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

    This is my first go, don't know how to get it into my cart to follow all the other steps as I only have the the ADD TO LIST button.

  • Got one, Keep hammering that buy it now button for me it worked at around 3:00:10sec started at 2:59:50.

    • +1

      Same with mine, probably about 5-10 seconds after the clock turned 3pm.

  • Could anyone please show how to put in cart?
    Anytime I click buy it now(when the Buy it now appears) it always said no stock, and after that it refresh automatically and become out of stock

    • Been same scenario for me too, and I've been clicking on that BIN button the microsecond it first appears.
      To get one it seems you need to operate in the nanosecond Universe.

      • +1

        Yeah, I wonder how can a lot confirm they can add it in the cart
        It gone less than 1 second

        • I managed to add it around 11 am, then managed to buy at 2pm.

  • +1

    Ahhh, the Bots win again :)

  • I’ve got them in my cart (mobile app) but it says the podair code cant be applied to this order. Is that when they sell out?

    • +1

      Do you have ebay plus?

      • Yes, I have eBay Plus membership. They were stuck in my cart, i tried again at 4pm and still didnt work. Now they have expired my session…. cart empty :-(

    • I've been having this issue too! When have people been able to successfully apply the coupon? I'm an eBay Plus memebr.

  • I refreshed until see "buy it now", then got "This item isn't available in the requested quantity. "

    Is that page (with my session id) going to be useful next hour, or would I be starting again?

    • do not close the tab!!! you need to spam 'confirm and pay' at xx:59:00 on the same page for your best chances.

      see my previous comment for more info

    • Yes. Stay on that page and click the purchase button every now and then so the page doesn't expire. Wait till 3:57 and just keep clixking non-stop. Hopefully this works for you.

      • Depends. If it's a full order page showing the actual item, yes, you can do this. If it's just a page with:

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

        What would you like to do next?
        Go to My eBay
        Go to eBay home page

        then, you're out of luck I believe.

        • yes, that was the one. No purchase button.

  • Got it too! Getting in cart and spam worked for me as well.

  • go to checkout, pressed buy, grey circle spinning, thought this is it, then got a message: LOL@YOU

  • +11

    yeah.. this is an absolute joke. I very rarely neg but I think this deserves one for wasting my time all day. It's fair and square - yeah whatever, it's still annoying as hell and only Ebay could think of such a sneaky business tactic to take the shine out of another company's spotlight. I'm sure I'll keep jumping on the ebay deals that are killer deals but this really has left me with a negative view of what was left of it in my mind

    • Exactly my thought…

    • They obviously are only going to have a limited amount available. Better to do it this way, releasing every hour than just doing one release and they're gone. Do you have a better suggestion?

      • Do a bulk drop like they did a month ago with the Dyson V11 - 1000 of them, sure the % off isn't as great but more units available and had a far better chance to actually score something.

  • -1

    have anyone got any ?

    • +2

      Plenty of people have been successful. Do you not read before you post? There is a post 3 before yours saying they got it.

  • finally scored one.
    This time it was a bit later than 3pm I reckon, as I almost gave up after the time passed 3pm, but kept trying and finally went through.

    • Is it actaully in your eBay purchases? Mine hasn't shown up :/

      • +1

        yes it is.

  • +1

    Got one at 3:05pm!
    I started spamming "Confirm and Pay" at 3:04pm and it went through at 3:05. Must have been failing payments.

    Looks like it didn't actually go through though… it's not in my ebay purchases. UGH

    • Does look like one went through at 15:05:58

      • It's me ! Sorry for theguyrules!

    • Ahhh, so you're the person who bought the item at 3:05!! LOL
      I could see that within 30 seconds a whole heap of them were sold, but then 5 minutes later at 3:05pm 1 unit was sold. I thought "how is that possible?" and now I know. :D
      i***i AU $249.00 1 15-Jul-19 15:05:58 AEST

      • nah, that wasnt me unfortunately,

  • Item in cart, applied code now just have to wait till 4pm to smash the confirm and pay button.

    • How did you get it in? "Buy it now" or "Add to cart"?

      • buy it now. you have once chance left at 4pm. good luck and godspeed

  • +17

    I (profanity) give up. Trying this since 10 am. My whole dayoff is ruined…This is Bullsh*t!!. I'm sick and tired of ebay sh!t.

    • lol haha! I've been trying since 10am too! definitely not upset about it though, my wife will laugh at me when she gets home when I explain my eventful day!

      • I’m still filthy!!! … LOL!
        But have a immense regard for TA for all these deals!

  • +1

    Tried as above for last couple of times, no luck. Too much demand, I guess it gives their sites lots of activity - but tbh it turns me off buying through their sales.
    Edit: Couple of times = last 3 hours.

  • This is crap! haha

  • Fingers shaking….heart pounding…..finally got one at my 4th attempt !! Happy….now life can go on 😝

    • Did u pay with Paypal or CC?

      • CC. I usually do PayPal but for this I didn’t want to take chances with PayPal coz I had to stay on the “confirm and pay” page for an hour since the 2pm drop — in case Paypal time-out or whatever

        • oh I paid with Paypal and be kicked out of checkout page when no stocks left. Damn, so failed. Should have stuck to CC. Now have to start over again, or giving up lol.

    • Did you also manage to get one in your card first then in another round spam the confirm and pay button to eventually buy it? =D

      I am in last step and hope can get it this coming round :)

  • Been trying since 11am drops but to no avail. So frustrating when it doesn’t work, but I mean that’s how these good deals work huh.

  • +1

    this is like the game "music chairs", the game starts at xx:59.00 with a few thousand people circling/refreshing with much gusto the page and then when the music stops the lucky 100 have nanoseconds to score their airpods and the losers get to play again in another hour

  • +1

    I at least finally got to the checkout screen. So payment is best via credit card as opposed to PayPal?

    • FWIW, I got one with paypal.

      • Thank you.

        I hope it doesn't cause much of a delay when processing payment at the next hour.

        I can't recall if those payments go through straight away. It's been a while since I last purchased on eBay.

    • Yes, use cc instead of paypal.

      • Oh right. Hmmm.

        It seems from what I read, most have chose this option. I double checked my available credit and have enough. Fingers crossed.

        • +2

          If you have got to the checkout page, apply the voucher and click pay button, should refresh and do nothing. The error message is like "Please review your unit". If you have got all these, then you should be fine to go for the next hour.

          • +3

            @JadaJ: Yes, I got that message. Now the wait. I'll start pressing 'confirm and pay' on the app at 15:59.

            • +2

              @Uncaged: Finally got to this stage as well, sitting with Confirm and Pay button in front of me and hoping for the best come 15:59!!! Good luck!

  • +3

    Also - dont forget to cancel your eBay Plus membership!

    • Who do you think is funding these "deals"? :)

    • +2

      Got 5 days left on mine.
