So sellers have to have the item "in stock" when the item is listed - please help

[CarGirl]

I have won something (still waiting for it) they have told me they were due in on Friday and to expect it Monday, now it would appear that they still haven't even sent it.

DH reckons that ebay rules state they must have the item in their possession before listing it, is this true. I can't find the information on ebay to clarify this.

I am so angry I needed it today which is 9 days after the auction ended.
