    Got the soundsports. Guess that’s it. I’ve peaked.

  • tryingtohelp on 02/09/2019 - 14:15

    Like many others, I couldn't see the deal on the eBay deals page, was refreshing mobile, iPad and google chrome simultaneously.
    I wish eBay doesn't exist before it turns 21…

  • [Deactivated] on 02/09/2019 - 14:15

    I don’t quite understand why eBay is running this promotion. Sure there will be a few happy people who grab a bargain but there will be tens of thousands of people pissed off that everything sold out in less than a minute.

    Sure, they might sell a few more eBay plus memberships but they are generating quite a lot of negative customer goodwill.

    • Nathw on 02/09/2019 - 14:18

      Everything was literally sold out in 10 second

    • sparkles on 02/09/2019 - 14:21

      Agree, the negative goodwill (and scanning this thread, it's toxic) would far outweigh the few people who luck out on the bargain. They'd be best not having these promotions at all.

    • pinkybrain on 02/09/2019 - 14:22

      EBAY short term strategy = gain as many ebay plus members $ with these stupid promotions stunts
      and hope they think there is actual value with ebay plus (for these promotions) but there is not used for it other than that.

      LONG TERM unexpected outcome =
      -all those pissed off ebay plus members/customers seeing how much better AMAZON membership is leaving eBay plus
      -eBay looks unprofessional and lose their reputation in the eyes of all those pissed off ebay plus members
      -eBay plus becomes the new COTD 2.0

      • sparkles on 02/09/2019 - 14:27

        This whole thing really has got a Catchathon vibe, hasn't it? And that, friends, is BAD.

      • FutureTech on 02/09/2019 - 14:38

        their marketing probably have a quota to meet in terms of new ebay plus signups…

      • Charity on 02/09/2019 - 14:38

        Thing is, they know they have the auction monopoly is Aust (and select parts of the world). They know, a certain % will get peeved, but the general population will never change auction sites.

        • pinkybrain on 02/09/2019 - 14:49

          yes, but at least they won't be getting any more extra $ for their dumb ebay plus membership..from all the pissed off ebay customers

          a site is a good as their reputation
          COTD reps is totally ruin after their own COTD deals like these
          and I don't see those deals posted on here any more..

          And when people get pissed off they start comparing to alternative competitors
          like now I see how much better Amazon membership + promotions is in comparison to ebay plus promo stunt..

    • Shawstuff on 02/09/2019 - 14:58

      Agree

    • 5cooter on 02/09/2019 - 14:58

    This is literally a business fraud. Wasting of time clicking on to bring eBay tons of eyeballs.

    • pinkybrain on 02/09/2019 - 14:26
      +2

      and still being promoted on ozbargain
      yet other still promotions by COTD is hated by the ozbargainers and no longer getting posted.

      I think the best way to give ebay the middle finger
      is to not join or rejoin ebay plus

      this is just a waste of most people's time here
      and is really just a marketing promotion stunt to get more people to join the dumb ebay plus membership which has
      no usage other than for these dumb promotions stunt and then even most people can't take advantage of it.

  • Jonno9 on 02/09/2019 - 14:16

    Seems like the deals page is too slow to update.
    Those who got the deal had the correct link to the product by searching for it prior to the deal going live.

      Got one…no idea of speed.

      I was on the Bose page already. Refreshed proceeded to purchase.

      Was no wording at the top of auction like the others. Code was down the bottom

      • PeeDee on 02/09/2019 - 14:34

        How did you find the bose page? I thought it's unavailable until it's updated on spotlight?

        • britta on 02/09/2019 - 14:39
          +1

          It was posted several times in the chat here.

          It wasn't a confirmed link (was based on the fact the price matched and was the seller of the Airpods from the last balls-iup) but it was the right one

          • PeeDee on 02/09/2019 - 14:41

            @britta: Did you already add it to cart and code was bottom of the Bose page?

            • britta on 02/09/2019 - 14:43

              @PeeDee: Nope. The code was above the postage where is says "Pay only AU$20.00 [ Show me how ]"

              • PeeDee on 02/09/2019 - 14:44

                @britta: oh ok. thanks, prepping for next deals

                  @PeeDee: Yeah unfortunately to win at these kinda deals you gonna do your homework. Simply logging in 1 min before and clicking refresh on the main page aint gonna cut it. Effort = reward :-P

                  Good luck

                    @britta: that's so great of ebay to kindly let us know if we want to pay cheaper in case we proceed to buying at higher haha. I'm so excited for the pan…..

    If you contact ebay and kick up a fuss they'll refund your plus membership fees (even after they told me that they can't do it). What a joke of a sale, maybe if enough people express their frustration and cancel their plus membership they may actually get the message.

    • SpotTheOzzie on 02/09/2019 - 14:19

      Was that with a recent purchase? Mine renewed last month automatically and they said they can't undo it as it's against their T&C =/ Cancelled since but I've still paid for a year that I did not want it.

      • DarrylKerrigan on 02/09/2019 - 14:25

        I recently got ebay plus. They initially told me as well that they couldn't refund my fees, but when I got a little more unwilling to accept that resolution they agreed to refund them.

      • bmerigan on 02/09/2019 - 14:34

        If you don't want it to renew you need to cancel BEFORE the renewal date. It's not that complicated, and definitely not eBay's fault.

    • pinkybrain on 02/09/2019 - 14:30

      what did you say to them?

      i feel that there is no real value in ebay plus other than for these dumb promo stunts
      and then you can't even use it..

      Amazon membership is looking so much more better and more professional
      and you can actually take advantage of their deals and benefits

      This ebay promotion stunt is Catch of the Day 2.0
      and people are willing to tolerate and promote it on ozbargain
      while the COTD deals are no longer being posted on ozbargain.

      • bmerigan on 02/09/2019 - 14:36

        How many sets of Bose earbuds do you think they should have discounted, 'to make it fair'?

        • pinkybrain on 02/09/2019 - 14:41
          +1

          that's not the point

          the point is their site don't work properly
          the deals pages does not show the new item until 2 minutes pass and sold out

          this not in accordance with the promotion instructions

          just read the entire thread here
          you will see that the listing does not refresh

          if you have bought on Amazon you will see their system is so much better
          I have been able to add to the cart and the item is held for 10 minutes till in choose to checkout or not
          Also when when a promo item or lightening deal appears on amazon many people are able to actually grab one..
          not this bullshit soldout before the listing even appeared.

          This entire promotion stunt of ebay is just wasting people's time

          • DarrylKerrigan on 02/09/2019 - 15:04

            @pinkybrain: I basically told them exactly that.

            • pinkybrain on 02/09/2019 - 15:24

              @DarrylKerrigan: how much of the membership did you used already
              and how much you paid for it?

              did you get any bonus items or credit back when you first joined?

              • DarrylKerrigan on 02/09/2019 - 15:32

                @pinkybrain: I got the membership today with their $5 deal. Regardless, they'll refund if you get angry enough about this situation with them, just don't accept no as an answer.

                • pinkybrain on 02/09/2019 - 15:40

                  @DarrylKerrigan: usually not easy to do in real life from my experience
                  since they are well trained

                  they will say something like we understand your situation bla bla
                  and come with sorry nothing we can do afterwards

                  if you just keep going on with more comments
                  they will just come back to the above two statements in new rephrasing etc…

                  anyways good to know you got your $5 back..

                  • DarrylKerrigan on 02/09/2019 - 16:37

                    @pinkybrain: Just be persistent. The story initially went from "No, unfortunately, the subscription fee is non-refundable." to "Alright… I'm more than happy to help you out in getting the refund.".

  • curiousities on 02/09/2019 - 14:18

    Got one :-) Thanks OP and those who posted the link and discount code before it went live. Missed out on the Google Home as I was refreshing the wrong listing. Not too sure what I will do with the headphones, I got free Samsung Galaxy Buds when I got my phone and don't use them much. Maybe save them for an epic Christmas present or give my buds to my other half and keep these.

    • SpotTheOzzie on 02/09/2019 - 14:20

      Where did they post it and how did they know?

      • Soluble on 02/09/2019 - 14:22
        +1

        Few pages back. I've landed every deal from these listings I was chasing and it's pretty much all from the comments.

    • DoggerBrains on 02/09/2019 - 14:28
      +2

      For those who still want to try for the other stuff, I'll just post what I did to get the stuff:

      1.) Try out the codes posted by other, and see if they are legit by just pretending to buy a product and using the code. If it says its not ready it means it's the right code (The message will still appear even if it's not the correct listing). If it says it's incorrect then the code is bad.

      2.) Try to find the listings, people also posted a few. You can kinda guess/check if its correct. For the towels, there was only one seller, so that had to be it. For the earbuds, the new listing was a bait (because other color options were still available) while the other listing was only for the triple black (so I predicted the switcheroo).

      3.) Once you think you've predicted everything right so far, refresh the listing that you're betting on. I use https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/australia/brisbane, to get a more precise timing.

      4.) The rest is up to speed.

      SNEAKY METHOD:
      If the listing you're betting on has the option for you to "add to cart", you can add it and go to check out. Refresh the checkout at the right time, enter the code (make sure its actually applied) and click "confirm & buy". You'll see an error pop up, but just ignore it and click "confirm & buy" again (without refreshing) and it should work.

    I'm not sure how others can buy when I can't even see the deal getting loaded. I've tried to refresh the page multiple times using different browsers but still nothing. Then it suddenly ebay reports the deal as sold out.

    • MBix on 02/09/2019 - 14:24
      +3

      Simply put mate, people are figuring out which store / listing is going to be the deal through some clever detective work / hoping for the best and having a listing added to their cart ready to pull the trigger at the designated time with what is likely to be the code. That way they don't need to wait for the Spotlight page to update, and thus by the time the page updating it's generally sold out.

    • Herbse on 02/09/2019 - 14:55

      The only way to have gotten the earphones was go know the link beforehand. People here worked it out and it got lost within the mess.

    Here is how i got the headphones

    I found the headphones at around 12:05, added it to cart before stock ran out.
    Opened up 10 pages and apply codes to each of them.
    As soon as the clock hit 1:59, I started to click check out on all 10 pages.
    3 orders were confirmed successfully by doing this, but of course only one was allowed.

    Big scam. Had ebay plus for 12 months and expired last month, I tried these deals multiple times with fast internet and sells out before you have a chance… it is bait and switch strategy - which is illegal.

      • Chochkee on 02/09/2019 - 14:36

        Yes, but the demand does not satisfy the need. It is baiting in customers, and is illegal.

        • bmerigan on 02/09/2019 - 14:40
          +1

          This is not bait and switch.
          This is demand exceeding supply. And when supply is 300 units, I don't think they can do much about that.

          • Chochkee on 02/09/2019 - 15:13
            +1

            @bmerigan: It is bait and switch, because having a small supply of 300units that sells out in less than a second is the bait, and the switch is making them go to the ebay website first, and secondary is providing them recommendations to similar products once it's sold out.

            You tell me how that isn't Bait and Switch, because that is exactly what it is.

      Well when eBay (with their 10 billion dollars of annual revenue) shut down due to bankruptcy we'll know who to blame.

    This promo has specifically put me off eBay plus. There was no chance for regular users to get these deals, you had to know which items was going to be discounted before it was listed on the 'Deals' page to even have a chance. It's a shame this wasn't better executed, with a fairer system for working out who could buy the items.

    Had the old (correct) listing in my watchlist. The (3) listing in my cart. At 2pm on the dot I tried to add the code which said 'the code doesn't apply to any items in your cart' or so. Switched to the home page to try follow the link on the deals section, no dice.
    Switched to my watchlist, saw the other listing had a buy now option, whew.

    Was one probably one of the last people to get it, very lucky

    I had the right listing but the wrong code :( the code never actually came up on the listing for me.

    Earphones disappeared within a minute. I successfully added it in my cart and I was just about to check out it disappeared. Disgusting

      Things don't just vanish into thin air. You obviously misplaced the earphones and don't know where you put them.

    Did anyone go to bunnings after 12 and get the google home hub for $19 as a price beat as bunnings beat eBay prices if it’s a business seller not a private seller but they only did this till 1 if u were lucky
    I had a few friends who got them
    But 1 per person

      That doesn't sound very likely. They don't need to price match this price. They only need to pricematch a price which is actually available.

    • Meovel on 02/09/2019 - 14:43

      Fairly sure they only beat thing in stock, not to mention a ebay list with code and specifically for plus which is a paid membership
      Tried price match the last Amazon Phillip Hue deal when OOS no luck.
