No problem!! I know what you mean about issues with buying plants on eBay ... I purchased what were suppose to be 4 seperate mature white Lily of the Nile from a seller and paid $11.50 for the shipping. I'd asked the seller how large the leaves were going to be and they said 20 inches. When they arrived, not only were 3 of the plants/rhizomes still tightly connected (I'm a newbie so this kind of scared me because I didn't want to ruin them by seperating them incorrectly), but the leaves were all chopped off just like they were daylilies! NONE of them were 20 inches long and one was as short as 4 inches. Needless to say, that one didn't even make it. When I asked the seller about all of this, he/she said that it was because they were trying to save on shipping. OMG, I SAW they paid $9.10 for shipping those things to me. I paid $11.50 - they could have splurged a little more and given me plants that would have arrived much healthier and survived the transplant. I know that's what I would have done!!
But this seller - puggybw - has sent me good plants. The Schizo arrived larger than stated in the auction and since the plant has a "natural leaning" form, I staked it which has really helped it transplant very smoothly. The plant never showed any signs of stress at all. She/he only ships at the beinning of the week in hopes that you get the plant asap (so it doesn't sit in the PO over the weekend) and I think it's recommended that you plant it right away to give the plant the best results.
Anyway, I hope this works for you! Let us know how your transaction goes by posting some pics!! :)
