That situation seems to be quite common when a retailer with their own site also sells on eBay. It's definitely worth comparing eBay to the home website because cutting out the middleman is usually cheaper!

That being said, sometimes I have seen retailers do blow out clearances of items on eBay that aren't listed on their sites...
