I Don't Understand This About eBay...

Have you messaged the seller to check that the item is still available? As I tried to explain in post 7 if the seller inadvertently had a duplicate listing for the same item, the 2nd listing for the non existent duplicate item may only become visible to buyers once the item which does exist has been sold and the original listing disappears.

No I haven't contacted the seller. I have no genuine interest in the item therefore I see no reason to contact the seller. Be it available or not it isn't something I'd bid on.
