I hate to think what it is like in say a clothing section or handbags etc.

The ratio of local to overseas items in clothing aren't as bad as that, but they still vastly outnumber local listings. I had a look last night, and in a relatively general search (I used 'blue dress'), I got 25k results, 3k for Oz only.
I was interested because I've had a noticeable downturn in clothing sales recently. While I've had slow weeks etc, it's odd because I'd still turn over much the same amount from month to month until recently. My other category, is quite steady, which is surprising since jewellery is even more flooded than clothing, and with much cheaper listings than mine.
The only thing you can really do is help people make more effective and refined searches if/when the opportunity arises.
