scam buyer address

How do you pick  scammers from overseas?  I recently "sold" to 2 different buyers...they didn't pay via Paypal or anything but requested an invoice. When I checked their Ebay I.D. name etc, it said that they were based in  ****   (2 different overseas countries), and yet the postal addresses were in Australia. Being suspicious, I used Google maps, only to find that one of the addresses given me was a factory site that does excavating !!! (HUH???).  The other buyer was the same. When I messaged them via Ebay that I only posted within Australia (which is CLEARLY in my Ebay ad), I got no reply at all...so...I cancelled both their orders.  Can anyone explain to me please?...much thanks in advance.

It does sound suss but I used to buy from US sellers that did not ship international - I had a friend in the US so would use their address for shipping and then they would ship to me.
