Ebuyer knocked out by own £1 deals site

Troublesome

To Update:

It seems that ebuyer are automatically sending out of stock notifications to every order as I ordered a another item, got a low stock email yet it was still showing well in stock on the ebuyer site.

FAIL

The deal offered seemed irresistible and ill be honest as much as people have been complaining about it being just 'cheap tat' are very wrong. So far over the course of the morning ive seen some very nice and expensive items on the sale page, however...

This is where it gets bad, as its not impossible to order things as some people have found you can actually see what your missing. Over the course of the morning I have managed to get motherboards, hard drives, dmx laser units etc into my cart and even to the checkout page. The first time I had 4 items clicked order and the price it was asking me to pay jumped from the £4 + £5 p&p to over £500 as they had obviously removed an item from the 'sale'. I wish i had hit confirm. Instead I refreshed the page and I was redirected to and empty cart. The second time I had 2 items in my cart got through the order process and promptly got an email saying the items were now out of stock. Third time I entered card details clicked confirm and got redirected back to the start of the order process. I ran through this again and ordered only to realise it had changed the delivery to a £10 delivery option....

So out of a morning of refreshing ive ended up with a £20 item for £1 but £10 delivery costs and a bad taste in my mouth. I get the feeling I may just be cancelling all my orders unless I hear some serious apologies from ebuyer.
