The lucky buyer got taken. It was a scam.
The Chinese Ebayer used an ended listing and resold the same item.
I'm sure the new buyer will never receive the seat

Keith, I must agree with you. I looked closer at the seller, just got his eBay account on February 14th, no feed back. I never buy from or sell to someone with no feed back listed on eBay. If a person with no feed back ever bids on an item I have listed I delete their bid and send them a message advising them of my action.
Luckily the buyer is covered by eBay's 'guaranteed'  satisfaction. Let eBay fight it out with the seller and close their account.
