It doesn't sound like a dealer. Seems like it's a private person with an order in.
Why can't they do it?

I live in Bucks Cty PA and there are no "premier" Chevy dealers around here. If there were, I would have ordered from them. This seems very risky and unnecessary if one wants a C8.

It does Violate Ebay's listing policy, which requires a VIN. Since it has not been built there is no VIN and any VIN that is posted is likely fake at this stage.
