The phone was retailing for £59.99 in the UK and $79.99 in the US.
It was released on the site on Friday, but by Monday both the US and UK eBay stores of ZTE, the Chinese company which manufactured the handset, had sold out.
The budget phone will now no longer be available until the next production run.
The Open comes unlocked and is completely web-based, so users do not need to download and install apps.The smartphone, available in Firefox's exclusive orange colouring is only available in an initial batch online.
Buyers will receive a ZTE Open Firefox OS Mobilephone, battery, Micro USB Cable, Charger and Earphones for their money, alongside free shipping.
Developers are invited to "build apps powered by open Web standards (like HTML5, JavaScript and CSS) and new Mozilla pioneered Web APIs that enable Web apps to access the underlying capabilities of the handset previously only available to native apps (e.g. camera, telephony, messaging, Bluetooth)," as stated on ZTE's ebay store.
The ZTE Open was unveiled earlier this year available only in Spain, Columbia, and Venezuela.
Specifications for the smartphone look like this; a 3.5-inch TFT 320 x 480p screen, 256 MB RAM, 32GB additional Micro SD Card support, and runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon.
Mozilla's Firefox OS also runs on the Geeksphone Keon and Peak devices which sold for £78 (Keon) and £130 (Peak).
