    • Congrats, glad it helped! I switched to CC instead of Paypal too, good tip!

    • CC vs Paypal, what is the difference? I've got it to discounted price, now just need to press that confirm and pay for the next hour. any tips?

      • I guess the Paypal option would need to route through Paypal servers for approval, possibly giving you a split second disadvantage?
        Maybe it doesn't matter but I changed it to try and give myself every chance.

      • I paid via CC, I assume if you use paypal it will slow down your purchase since ebay needs to connect to paypal for confirmation - that's my assumption.
        At 2:58PM I would just keep clicking on Confirm and pay button and ebay will keep returning an error message to check your item ignore and keep clicking it after every page refresh till it hits 3PM.

        Good luck!

    • It not even possible to get it into cart at the moment, my workmate was trying. The button. Ever comes up it’s gone too quick.

    • Would debit vs credit card make a difference you think? Or is it just a matter of lucking out the timing?

      • Not sure about that sorry, I just paid by CC.
        You just need to be ready on the Confirm and Pay screen, have the code entered and payment type selected and some luck.

        Good Luck!

    • tried that and it threw me out with "This item isn't available in the requested quantity. It may have been purchased already, or the listing has expired."

  • I got an error saying that i already purchased and it wont even let me add to cart now, even though i haven't purchased

  • +6

    got one, here is what I did.

    • I was able to add airpod in cart at 11pm and able to apply coupon.
    • I changed payment method to Credit Card.
    • downloaded https://sourceforge.net/projects/fast-mouse-clicker-pro/
    • changed trigger method to toggle
    • at 1:58 placed mouse key on top of "big blue confirm payment"
    • pressed enter (key 13 is Enter key on key board)
    • browser tab froze for few second, heartbeat increased and than there was confirmation message of purchase.
    • Did Same but keep clicking with mouse
      GOt IT

    • Thanks, When I tried CC earlier, the voucher would not apply.
      Just tried again and the voucher applied!!

    • damn, if only it was still available at '11pm' xD

  • +1

    Never seen it in stock at 1pm and 2pm. How did everyone add it into their cart? THX

    • Start refreshing the page at 2:59 & 30 seconds. Then click Buy Now (not add to cart).

      • Tried it. Never seen buy now button but out of stock message all the times

  • +3

    this is not even funny, all the stocks sells out in less than a sec.

    • you have to spam from 30 seconds onwards

  • Thanks for the Tips! Got 0! sold out after <1 msec

  • +2

    Should I click Buy it now or Add to Cart?

    • +1

      Buy it now. Then load your details and wait until the next hour.

  • +10

    I hate eBay so much right now but this is bloody fun and addictive. I swear if I manage to snag one before 5pm, I will wear it with pride and never take it off.

    • You'll have to wait until the next version for that :)

      • Nothing that a BlitzWolf lightning cable and a Xiaomi powerbank can't fix!

  • +1

    so what are we saying, better to click buy now or add to cart? I got one in the cart but can't checkout, I'm guessing I should've clicked buy now instead

    • +2

      click 'buy it now' and do not close that tab

    • That's right.

  • for those who were successful in getting a pair earlier today, have you guys received a shipping confirmation email? just curious..

    • Only have received the eBay order confirmation email.

    • no shipping email, only ebay order confirmation email.

      • Im guessing you guys paid with card? So no Paypal confirmation emails then?

        • +1

          yes i paid with CC

  • no luck again & now lost the checkout screen, no chance now

    • Hit back on your browser can get back to it

      • tried grey screen & just shows this:

        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

        • +1

          Ah no luck then. At 3pm click buy it now and apply the coupon. Then wait til 4pm on that screen and spam the pay now button

          • @Quotationz: yeah had checkout page last 3 times failed everytime, then last time after multiple attempts won the prize of the grey screen locking me out lol

  • +1

    If only I knew the secret tips during the earlier batches. Near impossible now but 3 more goes lol ;(

    • Dont lose your hope :) 3 more to gooo

  • Have filed a complaint with eBay for opening item for sale few secs before said time. lol.

  • 3 people got it at 4 mins past. I am not sure what is happening there.

  • +1

    Heads up: managed to get this with the above-mentioned method, but had payment / transaction processed at 2:05pm.

    My guess is everyone else gave up and one or two people's payments lapsed. So don't give up right away, even if it says there's none left!

  • +1

    So much entitlement. Relax, treat it as a bit of entertainment!

    I still haven't been lucky but I will be trying at 3:00PM.

    • +1

      Flex on everyone by buying them at $250

  • -1

    Happy to pay 150 if anyone can get a pair for me.

    • +1

      I'll sell mine for $175.

      • Hi Thank you for the offer. Is it still sealed in the box? Do you have a receipt for it? I would use it for warranty service.

  • +4

    I still think you all have better chance of snagging these airpods than winning Powerball on Thursday, and it's free to keep trying until you win ;o)

  • I got a BIN/Add to Cart button this time, and it showed 427 sold. Then errored when I tried to BIN.

    What's the best option there? I instinctively hit BIN, but should I be trying 'add to cart'?

    • From previous comments if you can get it into your cart you're in with a chance next time around.

      I don't think there's much chance outside of that

    • BIN - stay on the check out screen and set it up so all you have to do is Confirm and pay.

  • +1

    anyone else lose their carts?

    • yup, just get an error page.. start again

    • Twice!

    • Yep, this is getting annoying

    • +1

      I started spamming the confirm and buy button at 1:58 just for good measure but when it turned 1:59:40 the AirPods got removed from my cart.

    • +1

      Same - not sure why I got kicked out of my cart with error message

      • Yes

  • +16

    TIPS ON GETTING IT SUCCESSFULLY:

    • in the next round, refresh page at xx:59:00
    • continue refreshing until you get the 'buy it now' option
    • click on 'buy it now'
    • this will take you to the checkout page, do not close this tab
    • use gift card, this is probably the preferred payment option for successful checkout (it worked for me)
    • PayPal may work too but make sure its selected
    • not sure if credit card works, because seller only accepts PayPal. someone please confirm.
    • enter in voucher code: PODAIR
    • click 'confirm and pay', most likely wont work because you've taken too long already

    that's alright, come back to this tab in 1 hour

    • before xx:59:00, click on 'confirm and pay' just to make sure you don't get any payment/account errors (cannot verify cc, etc)
    • at xx:59:00, spam your mouse on 'confirm and pay'
    • hopefully, the page will appear frozen for a second and you'll see the wheel spinning on the 'confirm and pay' button
    • don't freak out because in a few seconds, you'll see the much anticipated text: "Thanks for your purchase! You've saved $150 on this purchase."
    • if you constantly get a quantity error, then unfortunately, it's been sold out

    good luck everyone!

    if you look at the sellers revision time for the listing, they've updated their quantities usually around 30 seconds before the deals meant to go live.
    seems like someone is doing this manually instead of the system.

    • "not sure if credit card works, because seller only accepts PayPal. someone please confirm."

      Pretty sure others have said they paid using Credit Card, but it is a bit of an anomaly!

      • +1

        I've tried purchasing with card from different sellers and Ebay has refused to process the payment because seller only accept PayPal.
        I'd say if you don't want your order cancelled/refunded, then best to use PayPal or gift card.

        • Problem with that is that it'll sell out before you get through the PayPal payment. Maybe that's their grand plan. Will only have to actually post out a few, if any, because they'll cancel all the ones that went through CC.

    • +1

      Thank you
      Instructions worked like a charm

    • I used credit card, and it's showing as a pending payment on my credit card account as PAYPAL *BRILLIANCET.

      • good to hear. hope there are no issues with your payment before it gets shipped out

    • Tried this @ the 4PM.. got the error (listing changes) then it sold out :(

  • +2

    I'm ready to hit the START button on the microwave to cook the popcorn ready to watch the next round go by at 14:59:48

    • then next round ends up being 10 seconds earlier.. -_-

  • I did manage to grab one at 2pm! Thanks everyone for your advice and input. Can confirm it's possible and I'm literally on ADSL in Adelaide.

  • I've already got a pair at 12 right on the dot, and I don't know why I'm still here reading comments. I defs have a problem hahaha

    • Not even trying to grab a pair and I'm here reading the comments :D bigger problem!

      But it's keeping me off Amazon.

  • +5

    This would have been a much more entertaining game if the Airpods were released at a random time during the hour and not just on the hour.

  • -2

    so many isheeple

    waiting for nespresso earpods will keep using snickers pods for the moment

  • "Sorry, we can't complete your checkout at this time. Please try changing your item quantity or check your account status." - Anyone has this error when they click "Buy now"? The item is in my cart.

  • +1

    Ebay didn't even need to do this today since this yr's Amazon Prime Day has been pretty 'meh' thus far

    • This is the july mega sale deal. Amazon is a different company so not related.

  • Don’t the eBay coupons require PayPal as the payment method?

    • I paid with my Visa CC - not Paypal.

      • Thanks i will give it a try.

    • The codes are applied on the eBay checkout side of things.

  • Start in Seller's Purchase History only place is a permanent operational BIN button .

    Time the bugger perfectly to the Nanosecond(One billionth of a second) most likely 10 - 20 sec prior to GO :)

    Thanks TA for this challenge :)

  • Sold out in less than 10 seconds: https://imgur.com/gallery/7aOV6GH

    • confirm and pay closes the tab now? yikes…

      • I think that's where the video is looping.

        • oh I see

    • +2

      hey man, you leaked your address. just a heads up. the emoji doesn't cover it when you're scrolling

      • Cmon John wouldn't do that lol

      • Poor John didn't see that coming

      • Damn John

      • All good, moved about 2 weeks ago, mail redirection in place haha. It was my PayPal address I was concerned about

      • +1

        Deleted cause these I don’t trust these shifty ozbargainers lol

  • +3

    ooooh the suspense

  • If you click "Buy it Now", can you add the code in the next screen?

    I've always only ever added to cart, then put in the code when checking out. Wasnt sure if clicking "Buy it now" would charge me full price.

    • +1

      Yep after you click "Buy it now", it takes you to the final checkout screen where you choose your delivery address, payment method, and you have a chance to enter discount codes etc. You then have to click "Confirm and pay" for the transaction to actually go through (or attempt to go through, in this case).

  • Sold out before it even Hit 3pm

  • +1

    Got a set!! Thanks guys, teh getting in cart and spamming the button works

    • Exactly how I did it.

  • aand it's gone :(

    are people's credit card info getting saved? i've had to enter it everytime

    • +1

      dont leave the checkout page even if you missed out or getting the message like "Please review your unit". In that case, you wont need to enter the cc detail again and spam the confirm and buy button on the next hour.

  • Did the mouse click spam at 2:59PM for 3 mins. It sold out and I still didn't get it. Giving up :(
