    Don't forget guys the *deal" doesn't start until 10:30 PM EST on 10/15 :D ;) And, you have to be ready to *order* at that time.

    Hint: You will have to *refresh* several times, sometimes the deal wont' go thru for a few minutes...

    lol that reminds me of when I was a nooby seller on ebay. I sold a 23" LCD monitor with standard $19 for shipping, and I noted I was not an international seller I only sell inside the US. So it sold to someone in Hawaii, and shipping was going to be over $130 :eek: I ended up paying ~$30 for shipping with USPS's cheapest option.
    Anyway, now I say something like "I only ship to the lower 48 US States."

    There is definitely a way of doing it we've come to realize..that the *deal* doesn't seem to start exactly at the :30 mark...it's somewhere between the :30 and :40. You will get the *This coupon code is not valid* error message multiple times...

    I seem to get the deal between the :35 and :40 mark...Is that when you have gotten your deals to go thru?

    For me, it's between :34 and :37.

    My first time, I hadn't entered my Paypal info yet, and the second time I lost was because I got distracted.

    Yeah, that is about when the deals have started to work! I always pre-enter my personal info, get the coupon code entered, and be readied to hit *apply* at the *set* time (over-and-over) lulz.

    I know I'm going to have hit *apply* numerous times...Also, the other trick is to be sure to have your *phone number* updated in Paypal.

    When your doing the eforcity & accstation deals; sometimes if you don't have that entered ~ it can hold up the screen process, and make you have a *forced* entry (if you don't already have it setup with Paypal).

    I lost out on my first eforcity $0.25 deal because of this...but, I was readied for the next deal! ;) Eforcity seem to be harder to get vs. the accstation ones..So, I find those to be my *challenge* :p

    I think NBR needs to fire the deals bot, and make it cin's permanent position.

    It's because the way the sale flowed:
    How it will flow:
    *$0.25 Shipped for 1-1000 orders
    $3.99 Shipped after 1001-2000 orders
    $5.99 Shipped after 2000 orders

    Your order fell into the (1001-2000 orders), I backed out at *confirm* ~ as mine fell into the $3.99 order for that one, also.

    I think you can cancel it.

    Q 18. I want to cancel my order, what should I do?

    Please contact our Customer Service team for cancellation request. Please understand that we can only cancel orders that have not been shipped.
