Disagree. Seller said they were in Melbourne. Does seem to be a chinese operation though. Chinese operators selling to the australian market on ebay.com.au do need to know these things imo.

Seller has since offered to replace the device with one that takes a local sim. Will see when that arrives i guess.

There are many kinds of devices that take a sim. And I'm not in an overseas shop. I'm on ebay.com.AU
