A vendor on bonanza has an item on here for sale that’s in stock but on this same vendors account on eBay they have it listed as out of stock. I want to purchase this item but don’t know if I should.

I would just contact the seller and ask. There is a “Contact the Seller” button on the item’s listing.

I would like to shame the answerer that said that the seller might leave up the listing because there’s no penalty for not deleting a listing for a sold item.
The reason Bozo doesn’t penalize sellers for this is because sellers’ listings that they have deleted keep reappearing as being available (ask me how I know this).
I’ve complained about this time and time again, both on here and by sending e-mail to Bozo staff. I get non-answers all the time I complain about it.
There are others having the same problem with their deleted items popping back up as unsold.

Yes, you should be worried enough to contact the seller.
If the seller doesn’t currently have the item, they won’t keep a listing up on eBay because if someone buys the item, and the seller doesn’t have the item to ship out within the time frame, the seller is penalized by eBay. So there’s some risk involved.
On Bonanza, the seller might keep the item listing active (although they could just as easily put it in reserve) because there are no penalties if the item sells. The buyer is told there is no item available and everyone moves on.
The only penalty the seller would be risking is the PayPal fee he’d lose if the item is bought and paid for, and he has to make a refund to the buyer. PayPal will not refund any of the seller’s fees.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
