How is an Australian seller not based in Australia?

I bought a laptop battery which stated that it was located in Melbourne.  The ad clearly states "3 year warranty".  After 18 months, the battery has nearly died, so I thought I would contact the seller and see if I can get a replacement. Of course they ignored my request, so I thought a phone call or letter may help- except when I dug deeper I found out they are based in Hong Kong! So a letter to ACCC will be pointless. Trying to get Ebay to do anything is useless, because it is outside the 90 day return period.  I have run out of ideas. 

(Or is Hong Kong one of the new outer suburbs of Melbourne?)

Because they are deceptive.
Just avoid ANY SELLER THAT IS.
