I asked Bobby this same question because I had purchased a pack and it did not show up and I thought maybe VCP had missed it.

I hope this helps clear some things up.

A quote from Bobby, in the thread I cited, post #61:

"Chinese style is any auction that is set with a time format so our system knows when the ending time is to finalize the transactions. You see this for many fixed price auctions, Best offers and Buy it now as well as for the standard type auction. When there is no end time associated with the item we have no way of knowing whether that card sold or not using the API system set up by eBay. The only way to find out if a card has sold or not with no time limit is by having a person physically view the pages and that is not very doable."

He seems to be stating that there are some Ebay sales that he can not capture. So, no, it's not completely cleared up.
