Another thing I have been caught with is delivery times. Ebay quotes what they think is the delivery date based on whether the item is apparently in stock and the supplier's location. The supplier's delivery date may be much longer than this. For example a wait of 4 days estimated by Ebay turned out to be 2 weeks from the Sydney supplier (who did maintain they had the item in stock, but where? - see probable reason in previous threads). Moral - make sure you get a FIRM delivery date from the supplier.
