*smee*:
yes Loco , unfortunatley they are allowed ... it is supposed to be shown clearly in the listing ,I think it should at least have to be clearly shown in the title ... there was some talk of this before , I will find a link to ebays listing rule on this matter and be back !
hereyago http://help.ebay.com.au/Help/Policies/Selling_-_listings/Pre-sale_listings
Pre-sales or pre-orders are permitted on eBay, but the condition (certainly on eBay Australia) is as follows:
Pre-sale listings are those that describe items for sale that are not in the possession of the seller at the time of the listing.
eBay permits pre-sale listings only on a limited basis. The seller must ensure that the item will be shipped within 20 days from receiving payment. The seller must clearly indicate within the listing that it's a pre-sale item with postage no later than 20 days after payment, including the date on which the item will be available to post. This text must be no less than the default font size of the eBay Sell Your Item form. Currently, the default font size is HTML font size 3.
I still believe that they shouldnt be allowed at all , and if they are , at the very least it should mention it in the title not just in the listing but thats JMO

smee - you're a kind man. Thanks for the advice. No need to find a link. I thought it would have been outlawed...... remember something to do with "drop shippers".

Loco, that listing is definitely in violation of eBay's policy.
You might want to contact the seller to let him know. Some people would report his listing (which wouldn't be good for him).
And it also wouldn't be good for any purchasers. It may well leave purchasers vulnerable in the event of a problem. I seem to recall something of that sort happening... where the fact that the listing for a pre-sale item violated eBay's or PayPal's terms meant that the buyer didn't have protection.
