Yes. Ebay is like the lifeblood for chinese scammers. When chinese are having trouble scamming they know that there is always Ebay, a place where they can scam all day long and be protected. It's part of ebay's revenue policy to allow for international sellers to sell from another location. All good til you allow the chinese to participate in something that requires honesty, like business of any kind.
This is not a problem for Ebay as the revenue is far more important than doing the right thing. In most cases they just give a warning if anything and these sellers have several accounts.
If your seller is not registered in Australia but the tem locationis it's a 90% chance that this is location misrepresentation and against ebay policy..If the seller provides shipping information a week later than description you can be sure that's whats happening..They will enter a tracking # into ebay order and say it's AusPost. It will be a chinese tracking # that does not even register with Auspost. Your item will be about 2-3 weeks min longer than expected. This is when you report item to ebay and they do very little.
Would you stop it if it was making you multi millions per year for simply making it look legit. No, ebay are doing everything they can to ensure that they get as much money as possible wherever they can avoid any accountability. There are just so many chinese sellers and ebay wants them all whether they scam or not. Scammers pay their fees too.
