@pete-kimmy_8, you may possibly be mistaking “item location” (shown in the listing) for “country of seller’s registration”. Country of registration is found by clicking onto seller’s feedback percentage (and then clicking all). It will say something like Registered since xx/xx/xxxx in Australia (or whichever country is relevant).

For listings, the seller can specify Sans Souci, NSW, Australia, but you wouldn’t see that in country of registration. That would literally be Australia, just Australia - or just China, or just United Kingdom, or just Germany, etc. That’s why people here are asking you if you checked where the seller is registered…

Could you post the item number here? – and we can check. In terms of EDD (estimated delivery date), sellers cannot change that. This date range is automatically generated by eBay based upon the carrier chosen, eBay’s information about delivery times, etc.

Sometimes these EDDs can be wildly wrong, but they seem to have become more accurate of late.

If the seller specified an Australian item location, it may be incorrect (and you can certainly report false item location), but it’s very very prevalent among Chinese eBay sellers in particular and it won’t be actioned by eBay as eBay.cn is governed by different rules, alluring Chinese sellers to partner with logistics companies and specify item location as Australia even if the item is in a Chinese warehouse or en route by ship or by plane or on the loading docks or in a logistics company warehouse in Chullora or whatever it may be. This is called “just in time fulfilment”.
