Got tracking. Eta 30 to 90 days delivery from China.
long wait time . It is done with intention,
Reduced likelihood of the buyer filing a claim, either running out of the clock , or not enough money for the buyer to bother with a claim.
Hope the buyer forgot about the order.

eBay is harder to understand than a woman. :p

Example - There are countless listings from sellers in the EU mainly who price their goods way beyond what is reasonable plus shipping charges to match. I look at them and think "What the hell is their game ?" Either it's money laundering or else, heaven forbid, there really are people in this country who have golf balls for brains.

Not sure how sellers do it in the US, but here you often see ridiculous prices (I think) if the seller does not really have the item any more but does not want to close the auction.
Then they change a €200 drive to €2000 so nobody buys it.
Not sure what the benefit is, but i noticed that quite often (inventory getting reduced and then prices getting jacked up)

But that's the opposite of a $33 ... 1TB SSD
They raise their prices to avoid sales without deleting an auction (in which case, the ad will expire eventually).
