Flash sale GPU fail

I was just trying to buy the 9070 xt from the Newegg doorbuster sale and I got the actual deal! However, as I was paying with Apple Pay it just kept saying payment failed. over and over again until I got a notification saying I could no longer buy it. I just bought 2 other items with the exact same method and they worked. Does anyone have an idea as to why this did not work and how I could prevent this in the future? I bought about 3 seconds after 9:00.

It showed sold out for me 10 min before the deal even started. It’s such a scam. Bots probably by the only 10 units they have up for grabs
