Is Sewell capable of programming the key before shipping it out. On ebay there is a listing that says they just need your VIN number Nd they can send it programmed to you, is this true?

No, they can't. The key needs to be programmed into your cars computer using the Toyota Techstream software. Sewell can cut the mechanical key for you by using your VIN, that must be what that particular listing is referring to.
If you don't mind getting the key cut yourself, oemlexusparts.com is a bit cheaper $269.14 shipped vs $360.61 @ Sewell

Reason: edit price
Ordered mine through Park Place (they matched Sewell's CL price but offered cheaper labor than Sewell). It arrived today, going to pick it up on Saturday.
