In fact, with Xiaomi, Lazada wants to make sure that Poco M3 buyers are those who really want to use a cellphone, not those who buy in large quantities to be sold again (middlemen).
This was also confirmed by Alvin’s statement.
“Lazada implements a purchase mechanism for one unit and one account. They (also) evaluate the behavior of buyers, geographic areas, IP addresses, unique device numbers, and IMEI. flash sale in the future it will be safer (from bots), “said Alvin di twit separate.
However, this mechanism seems still ineffective, because a number of users who have been affected by the cancellation are still unable to get the Poco M3 on flash sale second today.

Please note, flash sale These two in themselves are not specific to buyers affected by cancellations. This means that “new” consumers can also participate in the flash sales event, including KompasTekno.
Ludes less than a minute
Search KompasTekno in the Lazada application, Friday (29/1/2021) at 10.00 WIB, all Poco M3 units, both colors and variants of RAM /storageit was observed that it was sold out. As a result, this cellphone cannot be ordered again at the same hour and minute.
Previous, KompasTekno has been monitoring the sales page for the Poco M3 6 GB / 128 GB Cool Blue color variant since 09.59 WIB.
Exactly at 10.00 WIB, our page refresh and we can “buy” the cell phone directly using one available payment method, namely payment on the spot (cash on delivery/COD).
Alvin said that the COD payment method will appear automatically if consumers previously transacted using this payment option. He even claims that consumers can choose other payment methods.
“Lazada said that the COD payment method will appear if the last transaction uses COD. However, there should be other payment methods,” said Alvin.

This expression does not match the facts on the ground. In this second flash sale, our orders can only use the COD payment method, even though the account used has never used that option at all.

This is the same as what happened to Dian from the YouTube channel MainLagi. In the first flash sale, he couldn’t use any other payment method because he was “forced” to have COD, even though his account had never used COD.
Orders cannot be completed
Regardless of the problem around COD, order KompasTekno for Poco M3 at flash sale these two proved unsolvable.
A few moments when clicking the “Place Order” button, we are presented with a page error which basically says that there is a problem in the system, as in the following illustration.

Clicking the “Continue shopping” button does not solve the solution and will instead redirect consumers to the Lazada app’s home page. When the Poco M3 sales page was visited again, the stock for all variants was out of stock.

Lots of obscurity

As information, Xiaomi claims that the reason for the cancellation was because there was a “suspicious” transaction at the event flash sale first. However, it did not explain what the transaction criteria were.

“We apologize for the original buyers who were affected, we will continue to work with partners to improve the system so that it can be even better,” said Stephanie Sicilia, Head of Public Relations of Xiaomi Indonesia to KompasTekno.
Billions of transactions were canceled
