The ebay plus sales is finishing off with a bang.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/293622621743
100 units @
10am,12pm,2pm, 4pm.
Beats Powerbeats Pro - $199 - 100 units @ 10am, 2pm, 6pm AEST.
My chat person didn't offer to get back to me, only told me to try again later.
Some real bait and switch by eBay - not selling as advertised…
It was in my cart after 10 am drop, tossing up whether to buy it. Last time, scored a 32GB iPad 5th from AMEX/Harvey Norman rebate deal, should I sell it in Gumtree and replace with this? Isn't 32GB too small? Isn't US stock a bit of worry? Hasn't I spent too much on eBay?
Well, came 12pm, still not deciding if I really need it, tried to buy it and regret it. However, thanks eBay, you have solved my debacle, no more worries.
I will keep my eBay Plus membership for another year of entertainment/dramas.
eBay Plus Mega Deals page is now showing next drop at 2pm
Next drop at 2pm according to the banner ad on the eBay Plus site.
200 unit for 2pm drop
400 units
where do you get that number from.. they say 'sold' 200 (which would be true if they did 100 @10 and @12 ).
Probably being lazy and using the pre designed banner, or just pretending they haven't made any mistakes
that's better
If they keep the drops at 2pm and 4pm I will be happy to miss out the 12pm drop. Happy for the 250 extra people who got a cheap iPad out of this.
Waiting for the 2pm melts
I don't trust Ebay anymore. I am clicking every second from 1:30pm until I get it!
Next drop 2pm is up again on front page.
My guess is gonna be a different seller for sure. that code does not show on old listing anymore, so don't just rely on if that Ipad is already on your cart, do check the ebay deal page and go from there.
Or same seller but different item
i hope its a different seller with Aussie stock, sick of these grey import
If you don't like grey import why u going for the deal?
beware & check whether your added cart showing $199 shipping
IOTHub again.
Got one
At what price?
holy cow sold out again
Same seller at 10 am
No coupon
That was instantly gone, (profanity) this shit didn't even get to add to cart.
Had it in my cart and still couldn't get it.
I had it, put my cc details in, then the code, which for some reason wiped out my cc detail so had to put them in again, then I had to put the code again, and it said "this code is no longer valid". What a merry-go-round
TOO LATE AGAIN
It said the code is invalid on my first try and was OOS when applied again.
Strange
Exact same thing happened to me
that sound out real quick! i was on chat the other day trying to cancel my ebay plus membership which seems impossible once you have paid it for the year and the chat rep told me to learn how to write a macro if i want to get the deal.
what is the code "PFF900" does not work for me.
That was the code. I think if you already had it in your cart they stopped you from being able to use the code.
Farcical - showed up at $599 in cart with $199 shipping and 'this code no longer works'
I got an error "Unfortunately, this code no longer works. Please continue with your order.". I clicked "Confirm and Pay", luckily it was out of stock!
I wonder how many people actually paid full price ($529)!
(profanity) you ebay
I literally did not stop hitting refresh from a few minutes before 12 to now, and I didn't even see the page change at all.
Way too quick holy heck.
Got one, I had kept the checkout page open since 10AM!
Did u end up paying the full price?
No, I paid $329. The coupon was already applied since my previous attempt. Just checked the bank account, got charged 329.
I did the same thing, tried to check out a few times in the seconds before… then at the right time as I was clicking furiously it changed near the Coupon areas saying is red ' this coupon is not longer applicable' or something .. but I clciked so fast on the checked for the 4th or 5th time at that point … it went through for full price :(
same here, the code applied when it came in stock, i tried to pay and it returned to the payment page but removed my code, i did not see that and paid full price as well. i am on chat with them now asking why did this happen.
I just did a 'contact seller' asked for it to be cancelled … I'm done with this.
I think whole bunch of people (100) just brought without a coupon.
I got to the screen to checkout and it stated the coupon wasn't valid (nor did it show that a coupon was active on the listing).
Hmmmmm
I stopped and didn't proceed
And now the listed shows the coupon LOL (but obviously shows sold out)
No coupon. Clicked and it was already sold out. Would've charged me full price…
Mine didn't say code invalid. I carefully checked it was still applying at $329 by refreshing multiple times instead of hitting buy. Then after the 15thish click at $329 it went through at $530 -.-
Same here, bah, now how to contact ebay
What a disaster. Got the iPad at full price when the listing updated and undid the discount code!
lmaoooo Ebayplus good comedy show today.
Unfortunately, this code no longer works. Please continue with your order.??
dang it went through with wrong code
Got one but got charged $529
What a joke! Once bitten, twice why. Bye, bye eBay.
They really do just keep making this worse
Charged me full amount?
THANK GOD I got the ipad at 10 am. Would have had to gone through all this mess.
rubbish, why would I pay the full price for this grey import shit!!!Ebay you sucks!!! I have the item in my cart with discount code applied but got charged full price now I need my refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same thing here.
Just now coupon added and was able to be on checkout page. Hopefully will spam the pay button at 4PM.
Got code not valid so didnt proceed
Add code again and try again at 4
Had mine since 10am, code showed the discount price. Just got confirmed order ITEM PRICE:AU $529.00, ORDER TOTAL
AU $533.00.. i guess i'll be cancelling and the promotion ruined.
Check on your bank account how much has been charged.
It doesn't show the actual price you paid on the invoice and on the eBay purchases page
I noted the error: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/8936557/redir
that is exactly what's gonna happen!
charged with people @ full price!
How many times can they eff it up? This is not exactly their first promo…
Ended up buying the Powerbeats instead. Would have been happier with iPad though :(
I won't be wasting my time at 4pm.
Will join ebay plus again on APS/BFS or 30% off sitewide sale.
Noticed code wasn't available when it was in stock slightly a few seconds before 2pm. Could not purchase it with the code.
When it was OOS, the code became available again.
Did any of the 100 people at 2pm drop pay the discounted price or full price?
it used my other ebay plus code so full price - $5
What is the new code? Oh wait, my credit card is busted. I can't buy on the next round. LMFAO!
Same code. Same seller
So why did it reject the same code? Doesn't make sense.
Someone bought it at 14.05.16
Technology team of Ebay is really living up to the expectations today. Poor show Ebay ..poor show!
reminds me of those infamous COTD birthday events from a few years back 😂😠
we are now in another historical moment of OzBargain. Glad to be part of it.
Those COTD birthday countdowns were much worse than these ebay drops. At least you have a slight chance with the ebay drops.
The ebay live chat will get so many people complaining they will think they are getting DDOS
Coupon said invalid, then went out of stock. Seems I dodged a bullet here.
Btw I'm out, not even trying at 4pm anymore. Good luck to all those that do.
Same here, invalid coupon code.
did anyone here actually got one at the 2pm release?
i feel like they just did it for show to appease peoples anger
You mean, increase their anger because they bought at full price..
I'm a lucky one that got it, they charged me full price even if the code was active … the anger isn't appeased
Next drop at 4pm
Should I bother asking for an amended refund since the code I applied didn't go through and charged me $529 - or should I just ask to cancel the order altogether?
obviously fight for the discount?
Fight for discount, and a voucher for all your troubles and wasted time.
thats the ozbargain spirit
@julz15: Hi this is Ryan from the Buying Department.
hi ryan
Hello Let me review the chat for a moment.
Thanks for waiting. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. You were charged the full amount.
yes i was excited as i was one of the lucky 100 to be able to purchase it
Ryan14:30 PM
I will escalate this to the Marketing team to get this resolved.
thank you
I can also confirm that you used the code upon checkout and it turned out not discounted after payment.
I will get back to you within the day for a resolution
@BenK-Oz: Your person seems much more reasonable. Mine is telling me that I never applied the code at all.

That's hilarious, they can't even give an original response…
