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

Posted: **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.

Bahh, they have taken it off.

Too slow

This email is to confirm that your order for the following has been processed and that
payment has been successfully taken.

Item: Samsung 28'' Pure Flat Widescreen With Integrated Freeview TV + Cabinet

Cha-Ching

- doubt it'll happen but worth a try

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 10:03 am**

I got that email too!

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 12:36 pm**

We all did including the 500 people from another bargain forum who went for it

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 6:25 pm**

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

Posted: **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.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 10:29 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 11:05 pm**

From the Watchdog site...

not sure if this applies to Internet sales though.
