I stopped buying so much on eBay a couple of years ago because of this, and it still seems to be an issue. I have bought an item on the weekend, and it was immediately marked as sent, tracking number was provided, but the item wasn't posted, just stuck at "Tracking Number Provided" When I shop on eBay, I often select local stock, because I don't want to wait an extra month or so for items to arrive from China, but it seems that sellers get around this by claiming it is local stock, then generating a tracking number, then waiting for the item to arrive from O/S before fulfilling it. There is a premium paid for AU stock due to the quicker shipping, so this is a scam. eBay are no help, even removing negative feedback when this happens. Do I at least have the option to block a seller that does this from my search results? So I can at least not get scammed by the same seller twice? Is there anything else I can do? Do I just have to accept this as a part of doing business here? Cause it absolutely sucks, especially when it's kids presents before Christmas.
