Why is it I apply for Australia only purchase, not china or other countries. Have to double check.

If I tick Australia only purchase,  then I expect to get it from Australia, only to find out by checking feed back, they are from China and other parts of the world. They say they are in Sydney or Melbourne, But they were registered in China or other parts of the globe. This is misleading. Nothing will be done, why, because ebay will miss out on revenue. A bit rude I think.

Ebay allow sellers to put the item location as whereever they like

Many many many sellers in China say suburbs of Sydney or Melbourne to trick buyers into thinking that is where the item will be sent from

Whilst some are sent from a warehouse or such located here, most will be sent from where the seller is registered

(of course if the item needs to be returned, it will have to be returned from China)

As long as ebay make money, ebay don't care
