@Anonymouswrote:I still don't see why the pages cannot be set up by ebay to show 'item location' and 'seller registered in' on the same page
But then again, it seems to be the widely held opinion that buyers should not have to do anything at all, be it read the description fully,check the photos,check seller feedback is all just too much trouble (though I would have thought far less trouble than finding out the seller is long standing scammer in scammerville with 500 red dots since last month
I totally agree. That is basic common sense and exactly what ebay should do.
I don't think it is a matter of labelling buyers as lazy, although i know some are & barely read ads, some even manage to have their smart phones buy things for them on the sly.
But basic information about seller location & item location should be on the front page of the ad, if I can put it that way.
Just above or below price.
It's not just a matter of overseas items, it's also relevant in quite a few Australian sales. i got caught out once, made a bid on soemthing that was showing as a local suburb, only to realise pick up was in quite a different location so I withdrew my bid. Sure, it was my fault for missing that line in a long body of print but if it had had item location/seller location summarised near the price, i would have noticed it immediately.
People often sell for relatives or friends who are nowhere near their own location.
