that can be done even now... And why should FK be bothered about it as long as they are selling their own devices...
if you make immediate payment system, then profit makers first need to make the payment, get it shipped to their address, then sell/reship??? too much hassle... But earlier... just block in their cart, create a sale thread in TE... done :)

I think it is a very good move from fk side to restrict it to 2:30 pm.

At least it will get the guy to buy the device, shell out the 6k and pay for the shipping. If they resell post that, its there choice.

Earlier people would simply add in their cart, and keep on trying to find the higher bidder for the phone and get flipkart to ship it directly to them.
Effectively was no risk, all gain. Now you buy the phone, if it doesn't sell at the price you wanted, bad luck ;)

They want to avoid black market hoarders, so the real customers get the phone directly.
And the grace period for buying phone later was due to their servers limitation with handling traffic, if they have fixed it they will roll back grace period.

Customers who are able to successfully buy RedMi 1S during today's sale
must complete the payment by 2.30PM today.

Flipkarts arrogance is only growing....
No wonder if next week they demand payment first and then try your luck to buy the phone....

Payment first is a good idea
In this way many crap dealers dont get their buckets full of phones

I feel this just click on BUY NOW concept awkard
why not go for a complete payment system so that whoever do it fast can get it
