That's the supposed item location, if you look at the seller's feedback where does it say they are registered.
EDIT. Snap bear...............

The seller is using a warehouse in Australia to dispatch the goods.....whether the goods are already there is another matter.
If your item has taken this long I suspect it will be sent from China.
Just keep looking at the tracking.....it is quite comprehensive and will no doubt update as soon as there is a further tracking event.
if it comes from china do i get hit with gst?...if it does come from china i see a neg going towards them as they mislead item location.

You've already paid and as far as eBay's concerned the item is in Australia, so no GST will/should be applied (unless the item + postage is over $1,000.)

I find what these ebay sellers are doing now, as most of us refuse to buy anything from china because it takes a millenia to receive.....
So eBay sellers are now listing their products as within Australia, but in actual fact they order it from China to themselves here in AU, then re-post to you when it arrives to their depot point here in Australia. So technically their sales point is within AU - but you'll always be waiting a kazzilion years to receive an unwated international product.
We end up paying good money for cheap Chinese rubbish and wait forever to receive, wondering why it's taking so long to post from Sydney or Melbourne?
Sneaky buggers.

They've been doing it for years, and you've only just realised?
Don't buy cheap Chinese junk and you won't get cheap Chinese junk. Chinese sellers are registered in China, which a simple check of their feedback would show.

WOW. I've never waited a gazzillion years, or even a kazillion years for anything from China. Apart from a few years back where there was a shipping issue in the October, I've never waited longer than 2 weeks. Most things arrive within about 8 days.
I guess you need to pick your sellers, and check feedback before buying. I love my Chinese sellers. They are not dodgy, they all are large volume sellers and have maintained 100% positive feedback since I've been buying from them (over 10 years).
