Is there a wa to find genuine Australian sellers?

Hi Guys

Tired of Chinese sellers saying there are posting from Australia and infact ships from China causing so much delays. Is there a way to filter out the real Australian sellers?

Look where the seller is registered.

If in China there is a 99% chanv=ce that the items will be posted from there even if they say they are in Australia....only occasionally does a Chinese seller have warehouse facilities in Australia.

If they are registered in Australia you are pretty safe to assume they are really in Australia.

Unfortunately there really is no filter to remove the chinese sellers. Even choosing Australia only reults in non-Aussie sellers. You can open up the listing, click on their feedback score and find where they are registered as Lyndal suggests, but that means having to open up all the items you are interested in.

Depending on what you are buying, often the gallery photo will give them away. For example, with any sort of clothing, they will usually have lots of small photos crammed into the gallery photo. For example, if I do a search for 'black scarf' and select Australia only, then I get 21 copies of the same photo where the seller is located in Malaysia. Below is one of the 21 identical photos in the search results.
