Moved to Forum: Original Link Price Error

Car Speaker Cable on sale obviously well below cost.
Don't need any myself but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone is looking to upgrade their car audio.
Could be a pricing error or perhaps they can't be bothered taking it out to the bin.

                        @Snake 4: If you'd spent enough time on OzBagain you would have seen some pretty amazing deals over the years. Many of them trigger the 'that has to be too good to be true' warning light, and yet, a surprising number of them are genuine. Take the $2 sales from AstiVita as a recent example.

                        But in case you missed it: I don't care about getting the product or not. I do care about how this is handled by the seller.

                        Positives: coming here and explaining, quick refund
                        Negatives: lying to Ebay, bullshit RRP argument

                        Take your pick, what's more important to you. Then you decide for yourself: good place to shop or not? For me it's not, for you it might still be.

                          @team teri: We did not lie about eBay i explain the entire situation to them and they suggested we cancel the orders in that manner..

                          To expand on why they recommend this just so you know..

                          eBay has seller ratings e.g. late shipments, transactions defects, case that don't get resolved without eBay stepping in and so on and so forth.

                          Now because the volumes of orders was so high it would literally cause our eBay account to get suspended if the orders became late, people started opening items not received claims etc etc.

                          The only way we could close the sales with creating a situation that would cause our account to get suspended was to cancel the orders in that manner. This was a suggestion from eBay directly.

                          We have been completely transparent about what happened.

                            @autoss: So ebay lied to me when they stated they would never instruct a seller to do that?… I might give them a call tomorrow and chase this further up the food chain…

                              @FLICKIT: You know that thousands and thousands of people work at eBay and the support people that deal with larger sellers like us are different from the consumer customer support people you are talking to.

                              There is a note on our account about this so feel free to escalate it we have nothing to hide.

                            @autoss: It appears you were caught between a rock and a hard place there.

                            Still surprised that eBay would have suggested this route, especially without sending a message to the buyers first. Perhaps, as so often, the advice you got there totally depended on the individual you talked to…

                            Time to move on I guess. Have a good evening.

  Store rep has been open, honest and quite frankly, awesome. Most of you are just acting like spoilt, entitled arseholes. You think the CEO of Supercheap, Sparesbox or the like would be on here being this transparent?

  We should be helping businesses like this to stop big chain stores from becoming monopolies, but so many of you want to bankrupt this guy so you can get something you knew you were never going to get for that price that you have absolutely no use for.

  I didn’t buy from you, @autoss, because I felt it was a pricing error anyway, but I appreciate the fact that you came here to clarify and apologise and that makes me want to buy from you in the future.

  Ignore the butthurt trolls in here, you have given them an answer, don’t waste any more time dealing with them than what is needed.

  So many dumbarse comments in here and so few negs to hand out…

    You are of course entitled to your opinions. But perhaps you could learn to read before you call people names.

    I can't see anyone who insisted on getting the product at the advertised price. That would indeed be unreasonable given the circumstances and maybe could qualify for the terms you used.

    Fact remains though that the way the eBay situation was resolved was dodgy. Sellers can cancel orders without falsely claiming that the customer asked them to. I for my part tend to believe the rep that they acted on advice given by eBay, that means they acted on bad advice.

    They also sent an eBay message explaining. That is a good thing, but it only arrived 12 hours after the cancellation, after this discussion here. As such this all had some useful purpose. People who don't follow this page would not have known why their orders were cancelled without that message.

    From my point of view much of this discussion could have been avoided if people had not taken rather morally questionable positions, especially condoning telling fibs to eBay to save money. (I realise that that's not actually what happened, but that's what those people believed at the time had happened and found ok).
