Gotta love the permit stuff:
"We Not do Phyto-certificate,will ship by label in box is gift,dolls and other"
 
I echo your bewilderment at the 'singchii'. Unfortunately as with all things, highly beautiful + out-of-country + inexpensive + ebay usually = SKETCHY :(
singchii certainly isn't in any paph species database I have found. If the dude meant sangii, then there has obviously been some sort of tomfoolery done to the labeling of the plant as I am sure sangii doesn't grant such full flowers ;) I say 11 feet isn't nearly enough Eric.
 
Look at the RHS lists of new hybrids. At least earlier this year, they listed singchii along with hangianum on all hybrid registrations. Same same.

Are they just trying to confuse us or is there another reason?

Not 100% sure of the details, but usually when they do this, two descriptions for the same taxon were submitted in fast succession and there is some confusion in the rank and file which name has priority. Hybridizers might be sending in registrations with (singchii X whatever) and they are trying to correct them publicly? As far as I know, Paph. hangianum is the proper name for this species (haven't read the original literature though).

Silly scientists, the species grow in vietnam, they were exported to China like many other orchids.
The sellers, middlemen tell story of hangianums in china to obscure the origin of their source.
My chinese friend told me so.
 
It was very easy with the name.
I had the good luck to describe 1999 together with Holger Perner the Paph. hangianum. The description and the name were published officially and also shown in the net.
A chinese group Mr. LIU Zhong-Jian und ZHANG Jian-Jong desribed the same species 2000 in Acta Phytotaxonomica Sinica 38(5): 467; 2000. This description based on 2 plants, which were cultivated at the SHENZHEN CITY WUTONGSHAN NURSERIES The plant were named in honour for CHEN Sing-Chi, an orchid specialist of the Laboratory of Systematic & Evolutionary Botany, member of the Institute of Botany and also Chinese Academy of Sciences in Bejing.

Best greetings
