Sellers location incorrect

[elleb1234]

I have purchased an item with location listed as Sydney. This is a scam as I have incurred an overseas penalty on the fee as it is in fact located in China. False information by the seller.

This is widespread and needs stopping. I was alerted by the sales note which listed a very long delivery time.

I think you knew, you just chose to ignore it for the cheap price and free postage right? I am so over hearing these complaints when the only people who can fix the problem are the very ones complaining about it. 

Spoiler: VERY late night with photographer friend doing astro photography until about 3am. Yes I'm grumpy lol

I'm a member of the ASV... but I don't have suitable photographic equipment to transform my interest into photos. You lucky person...

   ... but if you're Grumpy, please point out which one that is.

Haha I don't actually do photography, but I'm in awe of my friend. So talented. The images after editing are incredible. Freezing last night. We went to The Pinnacles. Clear sky, really dark, quite creepy actually 😁 but a perfect night for photographing the stars

Warmer clothes next time

ive just been caught by the same thing, as the advert said Australian Stock, and item location in NSW. However the item originated Overseas!  Watch out for this type of thing happening. It took over a month for my goods to arrive, and the seller will not change their advert to state ex overseas.

Very Sad

I bought from a supplier listed as being based in Australia, product in Australia, 100% satisfaction & delivery 6 to 10 days....2 weeks later I find is in China & it hasn't left there yet. There appears to be no way to lodge a complaint with eBay. 

I have bought from suppliers based in China who warehouse in Sydney, I'm ok with that, my problem is with eBay not having any way to complain & get them to fix this situation.

There are avenues for complaint.

The one in this case is to open an 'Item Not Received' case once the latest estimated delivery date has passed.

It is always prudent to check where a seller is registered BEFORE buying. That won't help if they are dropshipping, but you still have recourse if you follow the correct procedures.

Horrible attitude.. item location must match where the item is shipping from.  It has nothing to do with where the seller is located.  These are scam listings trying to lure aussies in that want their goods to arrive in 4 days, not 4 weeks from asia.

Item is not as described in ad. Open dispute.

After 9 months what "dispute" do you suggest should be opened?

'aussies that want their goods to arrive in 4 days" should read the Estimated Delivery Dates... as should you.

Please read the date of the thread.

[davewil1964]

21 months, actually

No cigar for me & a visit to spec savers is in order.
