The ones who wait are the ones who WIN. This is possibly the best value phone deal in history, at a mind blowing 71% off RRP$699.

A powerful processor that destroys all others at this price, a telephoto lens (no need to pay 5-7 times more on a flagship), a big upgrade to 5 OS updates, long battery life, and a compact 6.4" screen.

  • MediaTek Dimensity 7300
  • 6.4" Super HD (1220p) p-OLED 120Hz screen
  • 50 MP main (OIS) + 10 MP telephoto (3x optical) + 13 MP ultrawide + 32 MP selfie
  • 4310mAh battery with 68W wired and 15W wireless charging
  • Dual SIM (nano + eSIM)
  • 68W charger and case included
  • 5 OS updates

      Same experience although I was ready with item in cart before promo began.. managed to get one for $200 at 10:02 as per eBay purchases page. Order still showing as Paid (Not cancelled).

      I spotted delivery charge (as defaulted) before pressing Pay with PayPal button and quickly selected the free delivery option. Paid via PayPal (with 2FA which took a good minute) and eBay generated error on first "Place Order" button press. Re-confirmed $200 order total and pressed "Place Order" button again and it generated the confirmation page. Took 4 minutes to get confirmation email at 10:06am. As at 11:45am it is still showing as Paid and only a single charge to my card through PayPal so upvoting this deal.

      • bigbadboogieman on 29/11/2024 - 13:48

        As at 1pm, Sydney Mobiles sent tax invoice too. Guess the order is going to be honoured. Happy I got this deal. Never managed to score something as popular as this. Feels like I won the lottery despite of paying $200 for it. Lolz.

    • When I got to the confirmation screen after checkout the price had somehow changed to $214.99

    • To make it even worse I was actually charged $214.99 twice so $429.98 in total.

    • There is no sign of the purchase anywhere in my account and I didn't receive an email confirmation so I'm guessing I won't even get the phone?

    Thanks for nothing eBay!

      For some reason shipping defaulted to express for $14.99, you had to click on free postage option to make it down to $200.

      • HomeAlone on 29/11/2024 - 12:46

        They must have made changes just as I placed the order as my screenshot of the checkout page shows free postage and order total as $200, but even then I don't understand why they charged me twice or why the order doesn't even appear in my account.

      • Quantico on 29/11/2024 - 13:17

        Even clicking on free shipping option kept the $15 there for me.

        Payment failed also even tho I received order confirmation. Oh well. Pretty awful system.

  • gamma717 on 29/11/2024 - 11:48

    I bought one at 10.02 . Did not go through first time I tried to buy, got some listing error message which I assumed related to available stock. Checked listing and seemed to have stock so just clicked buy or try again button and it went through. Paid by paypal, free postage, confirmation from both ebay and paypal. Nothing yet from Sydney mobiles. Still showing in ebay as purchased for $200.

    If I end up getting one then it will be pure luck because at 10.02 it probably should have been sold out. Could just as easily still be cancelled as if it was oversold it could take Sydney Mobiles a while to sort it out.

      Sounds like early buyers didn't get it and none of the early buyers tried again because they had an order confirmation. The OP did tell us "The ones who wait are the ones who WIN"

      • DeepMidWicket on 29/11/2024 - 13:01

        Yeah, I feel the same! I almost placed the order at 10:00 AM but didn’t go through with it since it showed mid-January for delivery. Then, I checked again randomly around 10:10 AM, and the ETA had changed to December 2-3. I was able to place the order, it was on 'payment processing' for a minute or so, eventually got the confirmation email!

      • BarginBandit on 29/11/2024 - 14:42

    However I failed to notice the payment failure email and only seeing it now after going through the comments here.

    • BarginBandit on 29/11/2024 - 14:36
      +1

      I reached out for support over chat. I wanted to know if there was an issue with my payment method as I used gift cards and was concerned about that first and foremost. I also wanted to understand how/why this happened - eg. who's fault.

      Here's what the chat agent said:

      "the deals was for limited quantity only and at time of your payment process the item was sold out and which is the only reason the payment got sold out and you receive message of payment failed."

      I pressed them on when specifically (a timestamp) the last item was sold, and they couldn't (wouldn't?) tell me. They said that the seller had added more to listing and it made it hard to tell when the last one was sold out, and how that matched when I purchased it.

      What I don't like about this is that it seems that many others were able to complete a purchase after the time I did it.

      I waited for the split second 10am arrived and refreshed the listing. The deal did not show up immediately, but I think by about 10:00:20 seconds the deal showed with the right code. I quickly pasted in the gift card code, typed in the deal promo code, and made the purchase. I can't see how this would have been later than 10:01:00. More than likely would have been 10 - 15 seconds faster than that.

      Confirmation message appeared, and I went off and did some other things.

      An hour ago I noticed the email. 10:04am receipt in my inbox advising "Your payment didn’t go through. Let’s try again "and "It looks like there was an issue completing your purchase. Please try purchasing again".

      Listing shows 664 sold before out of stock.

      It seems to me that this wasn't an out of stock issue at the time I paid for it, but rather some eBay issue that cancelled the orders. Others seem to have been able to successfully purchase the phone after the time I purchased it. eBay are trying to suggest that during the payment, there's no check for stock before the order confirms to the end user (which is how you'd design the payment workflow). Instead, it processes the payment, submits and order confirmation, and then checks stock….lacks logic if that's how it really works.

      • bigbadboogieman on 29/11/2024 - 15:34

        It was 100% eBay issue. First attempt failed for me too but second went through at 10:02. Thankfully I was not double charged.

        • josnab77 on 29/11/2024 - 16:31

          So, just to clarify, the order wasn’t cancelled after the first failed attempt?

      • josnab77 on 29/11/2024 - 16:30
        +1

        If the payment failure was due to the item being sold out, it doesn't explain why others were able to successfully complete their purchases after mine. I've already messaged the seller but haven't received a response yet.

          I think he's informing you that the whole thing about TRS refund is that you're not then meant to bring it back items you've claimed under the TRS scheme back into the country. I think a lot of people don't know that. Question 3 on the incoming passenger card.

          In short, the scheme is for tourists to get back tax paid on items they're going to use overseas, not for citizens to claim tax back on items they're going to bring back into Aus and use at home

            @jay889344: That's completely untrue. You can bring the item back, you just have to declare it and its value. Just like if you'd bought the item overseas and were bringing it home with you.

            • jay889344 on 30/11/2024 - 13:05

              @crikey: No its not. Why do you think you have to declare it if you bring it back in? The intent is that if you get the tax refunded to you on departure, you declare it when you bring it back in on arrival and depending on value, you could be ineligible to keep the value of the tax refund you received at departure. If you don't, you're technically commiting tax fraud and breaking various laws relating to customs

        • hippo2s on 30/11/2024 - 14:38

          Copied from website

          Declare any goods you bring back to Australia, for which a TRS claim was made by you or another person when the goods left Australia.

          On returning to Australia, you must declare the goods at Question 3 on your Incoming Passenger Card (IPC)

          Penalties may apply if you fail to declare these items

          If you bring goods back into Australia for which a GST refund via the TRS has been claimed, the goods must be declared, and if the value of those goods (combined with any other overseas/duty free purchases) exceeds the passenger concession allowance, any applicable GST and/or duty may need to be paid unless another concession (example, all personal clothing – except furs) is available.

          Kinda vague on what happens on duty concession allowance.

              @shxhshzhz: Oh, it does. Please review the previous comments. Everyone is shocked how and why the delivery times have changed. You are accusing eBay for stuff up, but as soon as you put that promo code in the system, everything changed. It is not eBay's fault. There are always some loops in the system and some sellers are aware of that and know how to use that.
