Question about a stem.
This stem, https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEBI:IT, is conventional steerer size right? I'm a little confused about it because Sheldon's site says that 1" is normal, but is a 7/8 inch wedge-bolt type stem equal to the 1" threadless, thus making the stem I am looking at larger than normal?

I'm very confused.

I.D vs. O.D

7/8"/ 22.2mm I.D

1"/25.4mm O.D

If both were 1", then the stem wouldn't fit inside the fork.
