Product in Australia but sellers are overseas

[murdock468]

I purposely search for Australia Only, I like to buy Australia and like my purchase quickly. Why is it possible then for the product to be located in Sydney (for example) and then be sent from Hong Kong by an overseas seller.? This seems deceitful to me..

Thoughts and answers welcome.

Do I really expect to get results - nope, I really doubt it but at least I'm going to try which judging by your attitude, is more than I can say for you.

And I didn't say I was going to report "ALL" the dodgy sellers but I will definitely be reporting all the ones I buy from - and when I'm on the warpath, all the ones that come up in my searches.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem...

i appreciate your lack of restraint. And applaud the fact that your post will disappear into the ether very shortly.. My nuts work quite well, btw.

Good luck with your crusade.

I can assure you that many of the members who post on the boards have gone down the route that you are going to take but to no avail.

Ebay doesn't care.

You might also check out posting policy before you break too many rules and find yourself banned for good.

Huh!? Who the eff is Adam?

Well,, some people like myself here like to purchase things from Australian sellers to help Australia's economy, and would prefer not to purchase anything from china because of it bad reputation of being a poorly quality product, so if I purchased anything that stated that it's from Australia but it's actually from china, I would feel a little cheated.

I agree. My first order was ment to be located in Sydney and never arrived, after 3 weeks I got my money back. Same thing next order, they said tehy had stock in Sydney, given a falce tracking number and after a week still nothing. Ebay needs to get on top of these overseas sellesr that say they are Australian based.

This is a ridiculous comment. We buy it from Australian sellers because we will receive our goods quickly. I don’t know why you seem to like waiting weeks for your goods but I find that frustrating. Even worse when they lie saying their in Aus and in fact sending from China. Even worse again my long process I’m currently in the middle of, returning a faulty product... Months of process just to receive faulty goods, return them and finally get a refund!! It’s sneaky!

I don't know why you upbraiding somebody who hasn't been on the boards for years for a comment they made 4 years ago.

I don't know what you tried to post, as the noun you used is bleeped out.

It seems rather strange for you to go to the trouble of finding the Community Forums, opening a very old thread (the opening post was posted November 2013), and flinging what clearly must have been an insult at a poster who lasted visited the boards here on 13-11-2013 at 03:43 PM.

No context to the insult, either. In addition, it may be disturbing to see offences under the Morphology and Syntax Act 1989.

If you mistakenly directed the insult at the opening poster, but meant to direct it at another poster, it's anyone's guess as to who the intended recipient could be. The last post on this thread is dated November 2017; clearly, this thread was dormant. Had you directed the insult appropriately, then at least the element of uncertainty would be gone. As it is, you have posted in a manner that contravenes the community posting guidelines, created an eddy of uncertainty, and may lead to the infraction being noted by Officer Διονύσιος ὁ Θρᾷξ pursuant to the Act.
