    Technically I didn't cancel it, they told me they had to cancel the motherboard and memory in order for me to get the CPU and Case or they said they would have had to refund the whole order, so I had no choice but to say o.k.

    Will have to see if they get back to me regarding this, or if Bindi has heard anything himself from ebuyer on his twitter page :D

    Unfortunately you agreed for the order to be cancelled. There isn't anything you can do about it now.

    They might not do another promo, but they do have to honour the goods they've taken payment for. It's a serious oversight on their part and a failing in their order system not allowing them to review special orders before payment.

    ill keep you all posted, I cant see how they cant honour the sale tbh, The board was in stock, hence confirmation and delivery date, they took payment for it.

    I havent breached any of there terms but they have and im not going quietly :thumb:

    I just got that e-mail too :(

    Are you sure they've taken the funds from you account? Because they don't normally do that until just before they ship your order, and should say so in your order status (they also send you an e-mail saying they have charged your account as well IIRC).

    The key point there is cleared funds. If they haven't actually taken the money out of your account then you don't have a case as there is no contract between you and the retailer.

    Anyway, now to decide whether to go ahead with the 1156 upgrade or switch to 1366 :confused:

    Hmm, I just checked on my bank account and it's not gone out of there.

    Let us know what they say anyway, but I would think that they'll have a get out clause somewhere for situations like this to get them off the hook.

    I'd say yes, now I know how much you have got.

    Good luck with your fight.

    Perhaps with this knowledge that they have lied and 'coerced' you into agreeing to cancelling the contract, knowing that they would have more supplies coming, you could have a case against them after all, but that's just a laymans supposition. I'd probably challenge it.

    It's all colour of law give it up you will only be more out of pocket.
    Only person here with any chance is titanium angel as they (ebuyer) took cleared funds before welching on his order.Keep at them and when the new stock comes in next week say you want one of those boards at the price you already paid for they will give some colour of law argument saying it is not a promotional item no longer even thou it is same item you ordered.
    Keep your cool keep on the same talking pont don,t be distracted and keep repeating you do not want to cancel, you want one of the boards that are due next week for the money they have already accepted and taken from your bank.
    It will cost more money to file small claims etc and going to trading standards is waste of time.
    This sort of thing has happened to me loads of times I just move on as it is just a further waste of your time and effort to try to do anything about their bad biz practice.
    What really bugs me is yours and mine money goes out immediately et a refund from them ie your money back to you takes anything from up to 4 days to one week one online retailer even waits 4 weeks to refund.I stopped buying from them never went back.
    I buy most of my PC parts from Germany, postal price is the same as Royal Mail inland UK prices, sometimes it,s a little cheaper from Germany in to UK (go figure) and as it's within euro zone no customs rip off! like when ordering from USA which I VERY rarely do as shipping price is astronomical.

    Wrong!

    I would have had a chance if they hadn't co-erced me into cancelling that part of the order as they also took my money aka cleared funds as well.

    And check out the forum, more members are now being f*cked by ebuyer, but they also have a case against ebuyer.
