This guide is intended to help those who wish to use SBot but did not have the opportunity to get hands on an old customer account, yet.
You will have to use Firefox along with the plugin Firebug for this.
For help regarding the installation of the plugin consult Firefox documentation.
- Retrieve the PayPal Button ID for repurchase (you need an old customer account to lookup this information)
Look at the HTML source of the repurchase page and search for a line similar to this one: (the ID shown here (3040015) is valid while i post this but may change in the future)
Code:<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="3040015">
- Log in with the "new customer" account and goto regular purchase page (accept the conditions)
- Click onto the bug-symbol in the bottom right corner of your browser window
A new subwindow will pop up; leftclick the second icon (that one with the blue border) and then leftclick near the left side of the PayPal button
- The sourcecode will now scroll to the PayPal button; click the "+"-symbol to open the PayPal form in the HTML code
- Leftclick the value in the "hosted_button_id" and insert the value you have looked up previously from the repurchase button in step one
In our case we insert 3040015
- Press enter after inserting the value
- Now leftclick on the paymentbutton as usual and you are able to pay for SBot although you should not be able to
Important:
This guide contains nothing illegal.
It only shows how to avoid the "Out of stock" message of SBot if you own a new customer account while purchase is closed.
It shows how to purchase the "other" SBot product that should only be available to old customers. This one is never "Out of stock" because it's the one that is used for the repurchase option.
There is nothing that Shiva / Shen could do to prevent this except from closing the repurchase option or manually rejecting each payment made though this glitch which, I am sure, they won't do.
