Re: Country change.
It matters because on the FVF is calculated 15% more. When using an offshore country like GIB or KH, or China, or so - there shouldn't be any like that. I mean - 0% VAT, only the regular FVF.
Giving your few examples: China (city: Chengdu) / Hong Kong (city: Mong Kok) / China (city: Mong Kok) / HK (city: Kowloon) / China (city: ShangHai) / GIB (city: Gibraltar).
Don't know what kind of IPs are these guys using, but have they registered their accounts from "ebay.com .hk"!? Don't know. Only for the last one I 100% know that he is a real German and using a DE IP. He switched his country as far as I know an year ago or so. Don't know if he is logging into eB using GIB IP or just using a GIB VPS.
So all of these sellers when selling are saving from each sale 15% (as well as 20% because they're Top Rated Plus, etc.). So if you understands me correct - all people in the EU pay these 15% (as sellers). Top Rated Plus sellers can save up to 20%, but that's nothing when sellers like these save EVEN MORE with those 15%. People can't beat their prices and can't be real competitors - they have always the best possible prices.
