Based in Australia, Shipped from China?

[3415len]

Hello,

After purchasing quite a few things from "Australian" sellers recently through eBay, I have noticed that the packages are being sent from China.

How come these sellers are allowed to say their listings are from Australia when the packages come from China? It's obviously a deliberate misconception created to lure more buyers in.

People think they are buying from an Australian dealer when really they are purchasing another poor quality Chinese item.

Is this allowed? If so, why ?

Posting on this long-defunct thread years later revives a long-done-with discussion – to no purpose. It is best for people to start a new thread with their specific enquiry, so that responders do not find themselves having to scroll through a tortuous discussion that has nothing to do with the new enquiry.
