    E-Buyer blowout deals - No Stock left, etc

    Why can't e-buyer sort out there Blowout deals so that when no stock is left it simply says so or just disappears.

    It can't be that difficult.

    I know it's there bargain basement but Aria haven't the same problems.

    There's nothing quite as anooying as clicking on the 'buy' only to get a dud link...

    Its something to do with the type of database they use iirc. I think a new one would probably cost them money to implemt so they wont

    Dabs have the same sort of problem, if you've added something to your basket from their shoddy stock and it goes out of stock....

    Because they might have more in, and probably cba to remove it from the DB untill they know they wont.

    Yeah but if they're unsure about forthcoming stocks it wouldn't be too hard to put a status of 'Not available - pending review' or some such thing.

    It's really annoying when it says "ordered on request (7 days)" and then when you buy "Sorry, this product is currently unavailable / discontinued"
