I just want to draw everyones attention to completly unfair selling and listing violations that eBay does absolutely nothing about. Money is more important to them than creating a fair and level playing feild. (as is with all corporations) Case in point: I have several direct competitors that have fake Aussie accounts, there is a way to check this and I will tell you. Click on their product, below the box where the price is displayed, you will see something like, "Item location Regents, Park. NSW". However, when you on click their feedback number you will see something to the effect, "Registered User in China". This is because the feedback information is stored on global mainframes (which holds your feedback info for a lifetime, even after you are dead) it officially system roots their I.P address (the number that identifies them, and their global location) to that server. This, can not be faked, if you're from Africa, it doesn't matter what you do, the country from where you are REALLY located, will appear on that page. I have reported these users sometimes up to 3 times a day for a week for a total duration for 14 weeks and counting. I've even used eBay's "Call me back" service, and had a really nice young man being blown away when he did the above proceedure, and he assured me, he will hand it directly to there investigation team . . . . and nothing has been done. At this point, I will state, that young man, (and innocent staff receiving my reports via the messaging system) sincerely meant what they said, but, they were the only people that were concerned, because, as soon as this violation was relayed to the investigation team (decisionn makers), they filed it in to the "who cares" folder. Think about it, are you going to close down any of these guys? My selling fees are about $700 per month, their selling fees would be in excess of $1000+ per week, they are Power Sellers who have shooting star ratings. So, my point is this, why don't we change the name of this place from eBay.com.au to eBay.com.cn ? Our listings should at least have priority over international listings, but no, they are pushed to the back. Now, I'm a reasonable man, instead of kicking their ass to funky town, at least set some proceedures in place so that when someone uses the advance search filter settings "Australia Only", ONLY AUSTRALIAN LISTINGS APPEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FROM LEGIT AUSSIES IN AUSTRALIA. Not Mr Wong, who is taking a handful of people who sincerely want to buy from Australians, but don't, because they are duped. Are you still with me? That's the only opportunity for us to get niche customers, and that too, is taken away from us. Even as a seller, I buy a lot of things. Just 3 hours ago, I was searching for "Watchmakers tools" (try searching for that after you've finished reading this, and see I'm telling the truth), it took me 40 minutes to find a legit seller in Australia, I had to click their feedback number/count to figure out where they were really from. Finally, if you've read this far, I need your help, how can this be fixed? What could be done that would reach the decision makers? I've tried countless times reporting this using standard methods, and nothing gets through to them I'm interested in your views. Dave
