I can understand why 2dned bought from the seller.
This seller has the little bit about being one of ebay's most reputable sellers attached to his feedback file.
He is an ebay rated top seller.
The new ad, as I saw it, lists the chair at $79.99 with free delivery or free pick up from Moorabbin.
I don't know where 2dned lives but for me, if I were to purchase such a thing, I could be sitting on that chair same day, as Moorabbin isn't far from here. So it certainly reads as local stock.
Also, I noticed an interesting thing.
If you look at the ad and click on feedback score, it takes you to feedback for that item. There seem to be 6. Most are positive and one of the negs says this: It really is a great chair and very good for my back, Thank you.
The other neg says it has not arrived.
To see the full range of feedback or get back to what i consider the normal feedback profile page takes a few clicks.
This is ebay's doing, it is trying to 'refine' the experience. I'd say many newbies may not even know they can go much further. Even clicking all feedback does not take you there, exactly.
2dned, if you are finding you are having trouble with all the ads of this kind, maybe consider buying from a store. By the time you add on $30 postage, you could probably get a good buy locally at not too much more.
