Ebuyer Ts&Cs wrote:2.3 Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on the Supplier’s website are accurate at the time you place your order. If an error is found, the Supplier will inform you as soon as possible and offer you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price, or cancelling your order. If the Supplier does not receive an order confirmation within 14 days of informing you of the error, the order will be cancelled automatically. If you cancel the order, or if the order is cancelled automatically due to the expiry of the 14 day period, the Supplier will refund or re-credit you for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the goods

So it's unlikely to go through as Ebuyer have covered themselves should
there be a pricing error. They'll just cancel the order.

Their Ts & Cs

1.2 No contract exists between you and the Supplier for the sale of any goods until the Supplier has received and accepted your order and the Supplier has received payment in full (in cleared funds). Once the Supplier does so, there is a binding legal contract between us.

That would suggest that until Samsung accept your order, you don't have a leg to stand on.

However:
1.3 By way of clarification, an acknowledgement of your order will be sent to you via e-mail when you place your order, but acceptance of your offer to buy the goods will not take place until after your payment is taken and you receive your acceptance e-mail. It is at this point that a binding legal contract is created and any contract is subject to these Terms and Conditions.

This contradicts what is said in 1.2
If that is the case, then we might have a case.

I ordered 2 - I don't know why

Post by **Woz** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 9:10 am

I thought the contract was always with the vendor, and as soon as they take payment then it stops being an offer to sell and becomes binding.
I think the Sale of Goods Act is contrary to their stated t&cs.

Too slow

OMG, what did i miss. Let me know if you guys get your stuff!! I will be kicking myself then!

Post by **Wintermute** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 6:43 pm

Well, our order has changed to "Pick in Progress"; which apparently means that the order has been confirmed, the money has been taken and we can't change our minds (para-phrasing the T&Cs).

So maybe, just maybe we'll get one

I just got this - thought as much.

Sadly I too received the same email, however there's some awful big websites gotten a hold of this now, I feel the end might not be as easy as Ebuyer seem to think it is. Woolworths spent a week getting lawyers help and WatchDog love this sort of thing.

TBH if the price wasn't changed after teh first day you shold get it for the price you paid as they should have seen the price mistake in teh first 12 hours from the loss it would have been making them

From the Watchdog site...

not sure if this applies to Internet sales though.
