I wanted to know how/why Ebay Sellers can post auctions for items that have not been released yet?

Mentor8 months agoPresale item are allowed if they follow certain rules, but buyers should be familiar with those rules so they can recognize when sellers try to get around those rules and so buyers can use the money back guarantee while it is still applicable rather than waiting until it is too late.
eBay's US presale policy is here:
https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-policies/presale-listings-policy?id=4252
Sellers of presale items are required to provide the exact date the item becomes available in the listing and are also required to ship within 40 business days of the sale. But buyers must know about the policy in order to use the Money Back Guarantee in the time allowed.
On eBay, buyers have up to thirty days from the last estimated delivery date shown at the time of purchase to file a case. After that, eBay can no longer help.

PayPal and many credit cards provide some protection for up to 180 days from the time of purchase. Check with your card issuer to see if you have any options remaining. Once your credit card protection expires your options are limited.
