What bamboo are you actually looking for here?
The Title of the auction says dulcis, the description pubescens and the picture most likely shows aurea...
In any case I suggest buying from a reputable nursery and not off some random seller on ebay. Bamboos can be very hard to identify correctly so you need extra trust that the seller has ensured correct labelling and identification and you are not simply buying some random common bamboo.
All the best,
Nicholas

I am after dulcis but when I saw this auction I thought the same as you looks like aurea ,but thought I would get people's opinion as I could have been wrong and it could of been Dulcis
