Got one this time. Kept the checkout page open from the last time and started banging on "Confirm and pay" as soon as the hour ticked over. Got it on the second press.
Did you get an email yet. I moved to Your Order Has Been Placed… but no confirmation yet.
I got an "Order Confirmed" email
Got the email, so confirmed.
What would happen if you pressed confirm and pay before the deal goes live? Would it just say 'not available'?
Did that too - obviously. You keep getting "seller doesn't have enough stock" messages - until they do.
You get an error but you can keep clicking it and at the next hour you can purchase it - which worked for me.
It doesn't redirect or anything
Got one.
Thank you to everyone for all the tips and tricks.
Step 1) Locked it in checkout at 11am
Step 2) Was too slow at 12:00pm
Step 3) Opened up 4 checkout tabs, and then cycled through them pressing "Confirm and Buy" from around 11:59:00Happy :)
Pretty soon they will actually sell out before they are even restocked.
Goodluck to everyone who hasn't bought one yet. :)
spammed a bunch of windows, one said "order placed" but no confirmatory email and can't see anywhere - I guess that means it didnt go through?
yeah i got this too. No charge on paypal, no transaction history in ebay. Phantom purchase :(
Woohoo about time, got one finally. Kept checkout page open after clicking Buy It Now in the last round. Just spammed the Confirm and Pay button and it worked.
I have failed 4 hours in a row now…
Sold out after 5 seconds 'The product is not available in the selected Qty'. I only requested 1.
We can have zero qty. (unless we have NBN, multiple windows and gaming mouses running scripts) haha.
Not much hope for us on smart phones.
You definitely need a computer, you can with phone but much harder
I managed to do it on my phone. Buy it now at 12pm and paid at 1pm. Definitely possible!
How can we do this? As in order went through at 12pm and payment email came at 1pm?
@Classo: No, no - I managed to see stock at 12pm to click the "Buy it now" button. Stayed on the page and came back to the eBay app at 1pm to press "confirm and pay" at 1pm.
Bought it without much fuss really - definitely easier than the AirPods sale.
So no one else has got a "Thanks, order placed" message but no email confirmation, no charge and doesn't show in account either?
I got this!
Same boat. No confirmation email or transaction in ebay history. Looks like we're back to square one and trying for the 2pm session
Don't send out fake news as people will lose faith.
no sense of humour? geez
You are getting negative votes even quicker than the deal took to get sold out, lol
i know lol. tbh i really thought it was going to go the other way. i think there's probably quite a lot of people that are really worked up about this.
2019: where hordes of angry bargain shoppers no longer trample each other physically. but merely with the click of a mouse button.
1pm no stock? refreshing constant and nothing.
It came, it went, all gone within mere seconds :(
I'm tempted to get one, but I refuse to pay the $59 for ebay plus.. If it was a monthly sub I'd do it.
Probably just make another ebay account lmao
You're going to have to make preparations at 2:00PM AEST (buy it now) and then confirm and pay at 3:00PM AEST as there is only a miniscule of seconds before it all goes. Good luck.
Not home atm..
Looks like I'll have to get a M2 USB adapter for my spare 970 Evo lol.
There's the 30-day Plus trial if you have already had one.
Damn. I've been looking to buy this for a while, and $79 is a great price. But my ebay plus membership trial is already over, and I don't see myself paying $59 for it again. :\
This is bait and switch. Not worth it !!
What do they switch it with?
A $1500 gaming laptop
It isn't, it's just that people are very fast. I managed to get one.
I got one, things I did differently from last time were;
1. Changed payment type from Paypal to debit card.
2. Stayed on the payment screen where you enter the codes etc.
3. On my clock I noticed it was xx:58 on my computer when it would come up with "Buy it now" on the listing, so I started spamming "Confirm and Pay" at the xx:57 mark and then eventually the "Confirm and pay" button stayed greyed out, screen hung for a moment and then I got the confirmation screen.Thanks for the post, but I have to ask, once you start clicking confirm & pay, my screen went straight to the message about seller not having enough stock.. How did you avoid this?
Did you basically wait until it said buy it now and then have another window open from the previous hour to then click the final button?
Kept spamming the button in the minutes leading up.
Mine just refreshed the cart with a message at the top along the lines of "There was an issue with your order", but I could keep pressing the confirm and pay button until it went thru
is that xx:58 11:59:58, or 12:00:58?
Just looking at this gives me an indication of how much profit these companies are making. There's no way these people are selling these items at a loss. A $79 item sold for $269 is almost 400% profit margin.
I would happily bet my last dollar that this is a loss-leader and there is no profit.
I hit buy it now at 1pm with no luck :(
1pm what? 1pm and 59 seconds? of course…. its 39 seconds too late.
If you look at the purchase history, you can see that the 100 unit transactions are recorded from 13:00:10 to 13:00:21

Whens amazon going to join the party?
From now on we should call these type of ebay deals - FUED
- F U eBay Day
Since you will feel like this
once you realized you wasted your entire day waiting for each new hour to come and trying to get one in the 5 seconds or less buying window
before you get a message "out of stock"
bullshit, running out in 5 sec
I noticed lots of the buyers only bought 1 item (this).
(profanity) setting up multiple accounts eh?Yea this is a big FU to all the existing paid eBay Plus customers. They should have made this event only accessible for those who had an account as of yesterday or something
and based on IP for good measure
DAMN IT, I MISSED IT!
I added the item, then went to buy a 1m usb-c cable and when i came back i could only buy the cable!
These sell out in like 10 seconds, you don't have time for stuff like that
Thanks, just got one at the 2PM run.
I'm shocked - I got one! Second time trying. Hang in there folks and come back next hour if you can.
I got one as well… 4th time lucky
lols "This item isn't available in the requested quantity. It may have been purchased already, or the listing has expired."
Got the same, so can't even setup for the next one LOL
same here :(
Thats what happened to me at me at 13:00.
Thanks OP, finally got one. That has to be the most awkward buying experience I've had to date, but worth it for the savings.
What tha!? Order was successfull, but then on the order details page - "This order was not successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount."
22 seconds at 2pm
3420 seconds until 3pm
%^@*^%**%^&$%$!!!
Almost got it this time. Managed to enter the code, but can't pay.
Do I just keep this checkout page ready and hit "confirm and pay"?Yeah. Just got one then doing that
Yep, at 11.59 start spamming confirm and pay
Another phantom "order placed" and no confirmtaion. Can clicking multiple windows screw up the order?
What the actual… How are these selling out in under 10 seconds. 5 hours of fails now. This is frustrating.
Hang in there, 2 more tries.
Hopefully the fastest have already got it (500 sold now), and aren't competing with us anymore…It's actually the opposite, the longer it goes the more people with it already in their cart ready to smash confirm and pay
I can buy but only for $269?
Code wont work
Are you on eBay Plus?
Finally got it, ebay chat are no help at all and just talk around the issue but they hung on the line whilst I tried this time and finally got it. Would be have been furious if it failed.
Okay i have no idea how that happened. For that past two hours I tried the spam confirm trick but this time just "buy it now worked". Lets see how that goes
Did you get the discount?
finally..OMG paid at 2:00:14
Can't get it to accept the PLUSPARTY code to bring the price down to $79. Not clicking confirm when it says $269!
Didn't work and lost my checkout page, nice.
Same mate, actually got the order received message but went to click on order details and it said it was not successful and all my check out pages are now invalid.
What happens if i hit confirm and pay without the code…. am a bit worried.
I assume i need to wait to 3pm for the code to work
You'll need to have the code added before hitting confirm and pay, it should have the $79 total on screen
Screw it. Just cancelled my Plus account if this is the the way EBAY is going to treat plus members.
If you do Buy it now would you still have opportunity to enter the code?!?
Yes, there is still a box for the code on the by it now confirmation screen that has address and payment method check.
yes but by the time you reach checkout, no stock left. need the confirm and pay page open
WTF I managed to get ordered received but then when I clicked on the order details it says "This order was not successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount." total BS!
me too friend, me too..
:(
First step complete…. Sitting at checkout…. Now to wait for 3pm to Confirm and Pay…
what happens if u hit confirm and pay now? notthing?
You get "The seller doesn't have that many left."
thanks its weird we have to apply the coupon code when we cannot even buy at full price anyway lol
Got 1! woohoo
