      I bought that fridge a couple of weeks ago during the last ebay sale. It has been at $266-268 FOREVER (Check purchase history). Normally $10 cheaper in store. They just lose cred' when they raise the prices and give an artificial discount.

    • rack on 13/10/2015 - 22:16

    So much for price increases, it should be illegal to advertise a sale if prices are purposely hiked beforehand.

    If your items have had the price jacked up then complain.

    BUT DO IT HERE, it's easy to do:

    https://www.accc.gov.au/contact-us/contact-the-accc/consumer…

    It takes very little time. eBay makes it easy for you to show the historical prices on By It Now items. Take a few screen shots and submit a complaint. This is the only way anything will be done about it.

    For example, this S6 32Gb, as been selling for $849 - $894
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-SM-G920IZKAXSA-Galaxy-S6-…

    you can see from the sales history:
    http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&item…

    but today with the "sale" it's now listed at $999. IMO this shouldn't be allowed.

    • ChickenTalon on 13/10/2015 - 10:51
      +19

      here is the relevant advice from the ACCC
      https://www.accc.gov.au/business/pricing/displaying-prices

      Two-price comparison advertising

      Businesses often make comparisons between product prices being charged and:

      • the company's previous pricing (including 'was/now' or 'strike through' pricing or by specifying a particular dollar amount or percentage saving)
      • the 'cost' or wholesale price
      • the competitor's price
      • the recommended retail price (RRP).

      Businesses that use such statements must ensure that consumers are not misled about the savings that may be achieved.

      Statements such as 'Was $150/Now $100' or '$150 Now $100' are likely to be misleading if products have not been sold at the specified 'before' or 'strike through' prices in a reasonable period immediately before the sale commences.

      Such statements are also likely to be misleading if only a limited proportion of a product's sales were at the higher price in the period immediately before the sale commences. The volume or proportion of sales that may result in such statements being misleading will depend on the circumstances of each case.

      The length of the period will depend on factors such as:

      • the type of product or market involved
      • the usual frequency of price changes.

      If a business has a policy or practice of discounting goods when not on sale and uses two-price advertising in relation to sale periods, there is a significant risk that the use of two-price advertising will involve conduct that is misleading. The business would be representing to consumers that they will make a particular saving if they purchase the item during the sale period, when this is not necessarily the case.

      Similar considerations apply to the specification of dollar amount or percentage savings such as 60% off.

          Actually, there is one previous sale for $999 listed on that phone! DURING THE FATHERSDAY 20% OFF SALE

          Bastards have form!

          | AU $999.00 | 26-Aug-15 11:50:55 AEST |

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/208273

          remember when you're looking at historical prices for your complaint, there have been %off sales in the past. include this evidence in your complaint.

          Oh, you'll need TGG ACN, which is 004880657

    • rompastompa on 13/10/2015 - 11:11

      Problem is, they could say that the previous sale ended, reverting the price back to rrp.

      And, as this is an eBay/PayPal sale, this is their normal price and tgg has nothing to do with the sale. :/

      Hopefully with enough complaints this technique will be boycotted.

      • ChickenTalon on 13/10/2015 - 11:22
        +6

        incorrect

        Problem is, they could say that the previous sale ended, reverting the price back to rrp.

        No they cannot, you can't hide from the sales history on ebay as all the previous prices are listed, some items have never been sold for the price they are being listed at now. This also makes it very easy to get evidence. Kudos to ebay for this feature.

        And, as this is an eBay/PayPal sale, this is their normal price and tgg has nothing to do with the sale. :/

        incorrect again

        ACCC says:
        It is illegal for a business to make claims to customers about its goods or services—including claims about price—that are incorrect or likely to create a false impression. This includes advertisements or statements in any media (e.g. print, radio, television or online) and any claim made by a person representing your business.

        • eug on 13/10/2015 - 12:34

          No they cannot, you can't hide from the sales history on ebay as all the previous prices are listed

          The problem is if the price is high, nobody will buy, and it won't be listed.

          This also makes it very easy to get evidence.

          But what the ACCC would want to know is how much the item has been listed for during those weeks/months where people didn't buy them. Showing them a list of prices that people have paid, clustered around particular dates, won't help them.

          Kudos to ebay for this feature.

          If eBay were serious about it, they would list the actual price changes in the revision history. It'd be a trivial addition on their part. The feature as it is is good to help us decide if it's a good price at the moment, but it doesn't really help cases like this a whole lot.

          @alvy:

          if a listing has previous sales, you can select "# sold". next to the quantity box below "item condition"

          @ChickenTalon:

          thanks

        • ChickenTalon on 13/10/2015 - 12:51

          @alvy:

          just remember, there have been previous 20% off sales. I've found an example where a high price was only listed during a previous sale

        • eltito on 13/10/2015 - 13:01

          @ChickenTalon:

          How do I change my positive vote to negative?

        • ChickenTalon on 13/10/2015 - 13:26

          @eug: Then use cache to find the previous listings, or just make your complaint with the evidence you have. That's what I did

        • eug on 13/10/2015 - 14:24

          @alvy:

          How do we check the history of prices on ebay?

          You can't - that's the problem. You can only see the purchase history.

          The problem with that is, if they have a sale for e.g. a phone, the price will drop which will encourage people to buy.

          When the sale is over and the price goes back up, few or nobody will buy it.

          When that happens, the sold history you see on ebay will only show the discounted price. The phone could have been listed at full price for months - you won't be able to tell from the sold prices.

          That'll easily lead to confirmation bias in people who are looking for evidence of a sham sale.

    • eug on 13/10/2015 - 12:10

      For example, this S6 32Gb, as been selling for $849 - $894

      I'm wondering, why are all the $8xx sales clustered around particular dates? Was there a sale during those few days?

      If it was $999 at all other times and people found that unattractive, then it wouldn't show up on that list.

      What we need is camelcamelcamel for ebay.

      • ChickenTalon on 13/10/2015 - 12:13

        All the data is there. complain and the ACCC can take a look

        • eug on 13/10/2015 - 12:35

          It's the missing data that's the smoking gun. Hopefully the ACCC do end up investigating.

    • stevensx on 13/10/2015 - 12:28

      eBay makes it easy for you to show the historical prices on By [sic] It Now items

      You are dead on, I do it all the time. During the ebay 15% off sale it was crazy how many retailers jacked the price. For one particular item I had my eye on the price moved from $169 to $219. Luckily he had a 'best offer' option, he immediately rejected my first offer and then my second offer I gave a small lecture telling him to basically put it back to its original price and stop taking advantage. He was reasonable and accepted the offer.

    I am giving this a neg because TGG has now become Kogan. Dodgy price rises on lots of items and items removed. I wonder if they know you can the price increase on the sold history. Its a real shame because the last ebay sale they didnt do this. The Good Guys are no longer good guys. Theyve just lost a lot of respect from ozbargainers.
