If they cost 0 you need to order infinity jerseys before you could get over a tenner for free delivery

Well I've ordered one..! The order has gone through and I've only paid the £2 postage... will report back tomorrow and see whether or not they cancel the order. Wasn't going to bother but then I saw they have three rear pockets roadie style so ideal for current needs.

Dear Customer,

Due to an administrative error we have incorrectly listed the Troy Lee Ace MTB Jersey which you have ordered through our website. The listing was made live in error on our site and this showed the product at zero value and with stock booked in. I am afraid that we are yet to receive this product from our suppliers and of course the price was also listed incorrectly. We have cancelled the order and refunded any payment.

Thanks and kind regards

Daniel

Surely they have entered into a contract to sell at that price?

Believe it or not, retailers have the right to back out if they screw up, usually in their terms and conditions which you generally agree to without reading them. Depends on the size of the retailer, the cost to them, the potential damage to their reputation how many of these cock-ups they just suck up.

My contract law is a bit rusty, but i'm pretty sure advertising goods for sale is basically an 'invitation to offer' - which means they are inviting you to offer money for their goods.

The next step is you 'make an offer' which in the case of on-line sales is basically you fill in the boxes and add your payment details.

If the retailer chooses to 'accept your offer' he processes the payment, and this forms the basis of a 'contract to supply'

So no, they don't have to sell it to you for the wrong price....

*this might be wrong though, as it has been a few years...

The seller is under no obligation whatsoever to accept your, or anybody's order.

Sale of good act states the sale is complete when the customer has made a sle offer and it's been accepted. They cannot back out AFTER taking your money as this is past the point of sale.

Missed out on this non offer but couple of years ago CRC listed an Oakley top at £0
They honoured it, its a pretty decent long sleeve T for winter as well

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you pay using PayPal in these situations as the money goes instantly.

(as I've found to my cost before with out of stock items that stay out of stock).

You get a refund, like when I bought that Ariel frame last months for £1.50

Ah - this old chestnut

Website error leads to panic buying. Hard-done by customers feel ripped off as they lose out on a 'bargain'

Free flights to America anyone? You just have to buy a Hoover!
