Free Postage displayed when it is NOT

Why do sites continually list in their adverts Free Postage but when you go to the full description there is a postage charge?  Why does Ebay allow this misleading practise?

Recently I was looking for a new toolbox and noticed this from a few sellers. Usually their ads would specify that remote and regional areas would have higher shipping costs and frequently there would also be a list of postcodes they would not ship to at all.

 

More likely on oversized items that Oz post won't ship.

 

The ads are fairly generic I think?  I've had eBay show me ads for items and when I click on the item it is overseas and doesn't post to Australia! Rare, but happens.

 

eBay can be a bit glitchy sometimes.
