Today i ordered a new Ipad from Tesco direct. On there website it was £49.99. The incorrect price.

Here is there responce via BBC news as so many people ordered

My question though is that they have taken the money out of my bank (Ive checked tonight). So where do i stand on the transaction?

Not a leg to stand on mate, they can cancel the order at any time and refund you and are under no legal obligation to honour the transaction. The old myth they they have to sell it you for the incorrectly marked price its exactly that, a myth.

However, fingers crossed this is Tesco and they could gain a massive PR coup by letting you have it at the incorrect price.

Nothing you can do, it states in their terms and conditions. Has the transaction appeared on your statement yet? Or have the funds just been "ringfenced" in your "Available Balance"?

 

[TwingoGeekeo]

it is in the balance taken out my Credit Card.

 

[A2ON]

it will only be earmarked on your credit card as i doubt the transaction will have been processed thus meaning all ordered can be rejected as nothing is taken as no payment been accepted only applied for and in limbo awaiting rejection or collection

Highly doubt you'll get the iPad but go to your local tesco with a direct desk and kick right off! They'll most probs give you a gift card with a £10 or so on it. Best you'll get most probs mate

No chance mate we can withdraw the offer at any time plus we do not have to sell anything to any one
I say we as I work for sainsburys and this happened with us a few years ago when we advertised £500 tvs for£50 all they have to do is say while stock lasts as well
Bummer though I would have had 10

If it was in a shop you might just get away with it but online they hardly ever get honoured and nothing you can do about it.

M&S did the same with a TV that was worth £1,099 but people managed to get them to sell at that price http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/...ch-Petition-forces-M-S-honour-orders-199.html

By law they don't have to sell it though at that price.

Holy crap that's a long wait. I'd ask for my delivery costs back at least...

Not only that the ipad 90,000 that plugs into your head will be out by then, you may aswell wait for that one.

 

[Tom]

I took the blue pill and instantly voided my chances of getting an iPad 9000.

 

[BREENY BOY]

In all instances urself and the seller have a 14/28 day cooling off period when items are bought and sold online which means uve kinda had it mate. But as previously stated they might give it to people to boost there pr

 

[TwingoGeekeo]

Last night the status turned to payment not confirmed. Ill have to see what happens as ive checked the bank today and still shown as the money has been taken.

Not looking good for you.

If you get it on a bank statement that they took the money then refunded, take them to the small claims court, they may give in and let you have one.
