On 8/9/2014 i ordered a lower pole for my tesoro md from kellyco through ebay for $10.20 plus 6.95 shipping. Received an email from kellyco stating it was out of stock & was preordered. Today i checked ebay & kellyco updated the price to $50 plus 6.95 shipping! Todays kellyco ebay ad stated they have 8 available/6 sold. Is this standard practice? Comments appreciated.

I make my living on Ebay and will try to explain why Kellyco did what they did with the listing.
Kellyco's listing is a "Good til cancelled" listing which means they have (Or had) multiple items available and the listing runs until they are all sold. The advantage of this type of listing (for them) is that when they sell a number of items from the same listing Ebay will actually bump theirs up to the top of the search results. The problem is if a seller temporarily runs out of stock (As in this case) and they end the listing they lose their spot on the top of the search results even if they relist the same thing the next week. To get around this sellers will often temporarily raise the price of an item very high so no will buy it (While it's out of stock), but the listing won't end either so they keep their place in the search results. When they get more they simply put the asking price back to normal.
