It means that the "dealer" has an item X in their inventory, they see that
someone else on Ebay is selling an equivalent X. The dealer follows the
auction to completion, when complete, the dealer sends email to the second
highest bidder and asks if they would like to purchase the item from them
for the price they offered the seller.
