    Having followed this thread over the last two weeks, I think more than a little consideration has to go to the possibility that utter incompetence is a factor here.

    I wouldn't be one bit surprised if they have no clue on some of the orders, what went through and what didn't and who got phones etc and are unable to accurately determine where to issue refunds hence the manual requests. That said it could be just someone on the phone also being incompetent and giving wrong information. The customer service centers, in general, seem unbelievably terrible judging from this thread.

    Same here. Went from dispatched to being processed and I started to worry.
    But shop had the phone.
    Still being processed even though I now have it.

    Up on Adverts now, one user, djan, is selling for 300 and has just posted this "Just to update, there are 3 more Pixel 3A available"

    Quite a few Huawei P30 Lite's going for 200-250

    Tell me about it. I let folks know a couple of nights back that orders were being processed again. And then mine was cancelled while others were successful that same night. Frustrated would mildly describe how I feel. Even worse I ordered safety casing from eBay for a phone I don't have

    Sorry Bake. I probably now have the phone due to your post. I hadn't tried ordering before then as others had posted about the payment block. So I had no order history.

    I saw this ad when it went up and knew straight away what was up. A few offers of €179 should be thrown at him.

    Don't think I'd have a problem with him/her selling them for 200 but 300 is taking the piss if they got it for 179

    €200 sounds fair. That way he makes something and we still get a deal.

    Scratch that, the €179 offers have already started. 3 already (including mine).

    Honestly, it's the principle of it. He's done 3 other folk who wanted it out of it for the sake of a buck. We had this a year or two ago with the PS4's in Argos, I fought against it then because there was folk who genuinely wanted one who couldn't get one as they were snapped up for resale.

    In general, I have zero problem with somebody grabbing a bargain and putting a small few quid on it. But almost doubling it is scummy.

    True. Especially considering his multiple purchases directly affected our ability to buy one. Meaning it cost us the €10-€20 we had to spend to get a SIM card and the painful hours/and money spent on the phone to Vodafone customer care. All affecting us guys who just wanted to buy one.

    Similar tactic being used by Gadget spot on Adverts too.

    In stock on bill pay upgrades. Out of stock on pay as you go switchers.

    Bill pay upgrade is min €40 a month for 24 months. So at least €360 extra.

    Hi all, has anyone any success in unlocking the Huawei P30 Lite from Vodafone ? I've seen the listings on eBay etc but was unsure if they actually "worked". Would appreciate any suggestions or a point in the right direction.

    You can report the thread for profiteering. Not sure how much use that will be.

    Am I silly to be checking the site once an hour? I see they are available for billPay so the stock is there, just not for PrePay.

    I was one of those whose accounts was blocked for future orders since I attempted so many times.

    From the rules on Adverts.ie

    Profiteering: Attempting to sell an item above the Recommended Retail Price (RRP)


    Who sets the RRP for the Pixel 3a?


    In any case , while profiteering is against the rules, they'll only pull the advert for tickets. Not sure why that is the case.

    You left out the bit after...it's not against the rules. And technically the RRP on the Pixel is 399 so still under that. It just happens to be available on a porting offer at 180

    "Attempting to sell an item above the Recommended Retail Price (RRP)
    Adverts.ie is a community marketplace and does not encourage profiteering.
    We will not however remove the listing and we leave it up to the buyer to decide on whether to make an offer or not. "

    This phone is all about the camera, which is similair to 500eur+ phones. The rest of it such as other hardware and aesthetics are IMO lacking. Still a steal!

    Sell them all yet? How much profit did you pocket??
