...should mean sellers in Australia Only, not fake locations yet send from China and take 3 months to get here!

Ebay you are doing yourself a great disservice! But then you don't give a schit because these chinese sellers are your income....

I'm sure some resident doogooder will now 'put me right'....

Pick me!

You are fully aware of how the search works, and that eBay don't read or respond to board posts.

G'day Dave, so good that one of the resident doogooders responded so quickly. That's nice.
Nice that you advocate scams and fake locations. Pat on the back their David. x

I don't advocate any such thing, and I'll thank you to not make unsupported and false inferences.

What I know, whether I support it or not, (I don't) is that eBay Australia has no control over Chinese sellers. And that there are easy ways to find where a seller (and more likely their goods) are based. And I don't buy junk from China, cheap or otherwise, slow delivery or otherwise. I might suggest you do the same, if indeed you buy stuff from China, which I doubt.

Good evening Your Roayal Happiness.

I do agree that it "should mean "that...however a quick look at feedback will reveal the seller's country of registration.

Works for me.

It should, but some sellers I think lie about location or else must have warehouses here even though they live in China.

It's something that does annoy quite a few buyers but my advice would be to look at the ETA. If the item is in Australia, there's no earthly reason (for most of the urban parts of Australia, where most people live) for any item to take any more than 3 weeks, let alone 3 months.Dead give away it is coming from overseas if it does.

My advice would be if by accident you buy an item listed as being in Aust then find your item is delayed and the seller is in fact in China or elsewhere, immediately open an item not received dispute, don't put up with any nonsense. Get your money back & if the item arrives later, too bad. I wouldn't normally say that but there is no way I'd be offering to return an item to an overseas address if it had been advertised as located in Australia.

I understood that it was Slucaducyoddleyoddle deWotsüritzenburgczosti... the Third and a Half.

I may be confusing two entirely different people, of course. I haven't had enough sleep and I think I'm hallucinating.
