I called Ebay to find out what why it changed and got some Pakistani who just kept repeating a scripted response. The other thing is the items location was listed as shipping from Nevada, but when I pull up the sellers profile it says he's in Cyprus. Amazon puts them to shame when it comes to customer service.
Yea, that's really strange.. I dunno how they could change the ship date after it's sold.. I wonder if ebay has a global shipping deal for guys in countries like China as example..

What I mean, is if I sell something on ebay with global shipping to say a guy in the UK. I ship the item to a ebay warehouse and that's the end of my responsibility so far as shipping goes. It then gets loaded into a shipping container and mass shipped with lots of other ebay stuff to the UK and they take care of the shipping in the UK..

Sp perhaps there is a reverse set up like that for guys in China or say Cyprus.. They ship to a local warehouse then it gets shipped to the US and ebay delivers from there? Maybe if that's the case it could get held up in customs or something and nothing the shipper has control over..
