Stop Chinese scams

[proshop71]

Two items purchased this week with iitem locations in Sydney. Turns out they are location scammers from Hong Kong and China. They dont have anything in Australia and have likely never set foot here. My items do not arrive on time and the scammers have supplied a chinese tracking number. Its been enterd as an Auspost tracking number through ebay but Auspost website does not recognise the number.  

Ebay are fully aware but because they make a cut from these scams and because there are so many it's a good revenue. This started becoming an absolute joke.. People select the AUSTRALIA ONLY BUTTON all they get is dozens of Chinese scammers misrepresenting the location. Its been happening for more than a decade.

What we need to do is get together. There needs to be mass complaints at the same time to the ACCC and also members of parliment. Regarding this. Given the current situation i think it's about time people start to wake up to deceptive Chinese. 

Who wants to join me?

No I meant for any replies, not just to a topic I started. I'd be watching that anyway. 

Regarding format there, I won't even bother going into that section. I don't find it user friendly and seems a bit tucked away, a bit hidden,which I find annoying. Bad enough how hard they've made it for people to find this forum in the first place.

Anyway thank you. I'll leave it there. Don't want to hijack this topic anymore. Moving on lol

Hi I will this is just **bleep** and eBay doesn’t care while they are making money. I’m getting sick of buying items listed as Australian and not, while we No they’re not, but still do it, let’s face it cheap prices end up cheap **bleep**, eBay should stop allowing false advertising
