Chinese sellers top search engine on Australian Ebay site

I am an Australian living in Australia selling on Australian Ebay. Can anyone tell me how come Chinese sellers are listed before me when searching for similiar product. You are not allowed to join their Chines selling site TaoBao unless you are chinese. Also how can sellers continue to say they are living in and the  item location is in Australia when you go into the profile and they are from China.  How do you get to list before overseas sellers.

It's all about the money I'm afraid.

As a buyer, I wish the aussie sellers would come up first. I get sick of trawling through some of the chinese listings. It can actually be a turn off to using ebay at times, trying to filter it out.

isnt there a filter to eliminate items from overseas from the search results.
This is what I believe should be the default filter so if buyers wish to see ALL then they need to select it.
