<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 3312849, member: 77639"]I wanted to buy three coins from same seller on eBay, so added them to my cart. Went to cart to pay, and there was message in red that order couldn't be processed until owner returned from vacation. Checked back day later, same message. Did search on one of the coins to see if it was available from another seller. One of the coins that appeared was the one in my cart. No surprise; I hadn't bought the coin yet. Just to see what would happen, I clicked buy-it-now expecting same message I got in my cart. Nope! Purchase went through with message there would be a slight delay in shipping. Tried same thing with second coin, and purchase went through. Tried with third coin, but coin was gone!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is probably in eBay fine print.
