Why is it that an Academic version of VS 2008 is available to purchase but
not the actual version?

What are you talking about?

VS.NET comes in several version and they're available for purchase from
several retailers.
 
I was under the impression vs 2008 was not available till end of february
'ish of this year.

But I am able to find visual studio 2008 professional educational versions.

Am I wrong in the release date of VS 2008 ?

Where did you see the educational version? Maybe you can only pre-order it.

Retail rollout started earlier than originally announced:

On your eBay link: a legitimate reseller would not be selling the Academic
Edition without demanding proper academic credentials from the purchaser.
Buyer beware! Also note that Amazon says: "ships in 1 to 4 weeks".
