If you click on the seller, it tells you their location. eg: a iphone form an "aussie" seller and the item location states sydney. click on their username and it tells you were they are really located.

But now what I want to know is... Did onefishball get his item in a few days, or did it actually come from China?  Man LOL  Man LOL  Man LOL

Two years later and this practice is still happening, all but more frequently.

 

Ebay have had 100's if not 1000's of reports about it and continue to do nothing.

 

I am posting this as despite all my due dilligence I got caught again.

 

Chinese seller listing item in Sydney with delivery via fastway. 

 

The seller then creates the shipping label which registers on the tracking site, the item is then sent to a freight forwarder in Australia to be distributed to the courier etc.  

 

Never again will I be caught, any hint that the seller is chinese and I don't buy from them.

So how did you get caught if you did your due diligence?  Surely you did not believe the item location if the seller is registered in China.

It's a darned site easier to look at their feedback and see where they're registered.......................
