You can tell them Consumer affairs will be in contact if the other 24 chains are not posted to you.

That bundle of 25 10spd KMC chains is still 'in stock' on their website.

That is actually a lot of small chains. Theu are just stuck together in one piece for ease of shipping.

That's what I'm worried about. Mind you, my order only left Melbourne this morning!!! Order on the 8th Dec. Shipping label created 11th Dec. Physically entered the Oz Post on the 14th Dec. Started moving in the early hours of this morning...

Bugger, looks like it was too good to be true.
They won't have 25 chains in stock. I think the best you're going to get is a refund.

I had this happen with a box of half round finishing files, I go through a lot these at work and the box of 12 was a bit more than the cost of 2 locally.
Turns out I just bought one very expensive file from the UK. They refunded due to their shitty listing and told me to keep the one they sent out...
Winning.

Indeed

I've suggested they notify any other buyers of the item.

They got it wrong.

$42 seems pretty steep for a 10 speed chain. $49 even more so.

If you want to return it, confirm that you won't have to pay postage with the return label, and there will be tracking included.

If they won't do that, I would open a dispute with eBay. (tracking with Auspost is your Proof that you dispatched the item back to them)

Do you have any images that show 'box of 25' in white lettering in a red circle?
I see they have taken it down from their website. khunts.

the website description still says box of 25, even though the image doesn't

I've got the screenshot above and I saved PDFs of the ebay listing with the same picture and a description stating 25 chains.

I have similar from cycling deal. It does inflate and seat tubeless if you don't have an air compressor. The only time I've had issues is when I've done a crap tape job or when the tyre turns out to not be tubeless ready (CotFW moment).

CotFW.. my compressor is too big and noisy, so i rarely turn it on even for car tyres so this might be useful
