The issue and problem OP and many others including myself have is that chinese sellers on UK are either putting the item location as UK even though they're shipping from China, this way uk buyers can't filter genuine uk sellers and they're taking sales away by using this dirty tactic.
I admit there are some power sellers who have warehouses or shipping services they hire in the UK but 95% of chinese sellers ship directly from china and have an inaccurate item location.
It's no secret that chinese are buying UK ebay stealth accounts in bulk, they are only after UK because our currency is strong and probably some other tax/custom reasons aswell. So the issues we have with the chinese is not that they're trying to sell their items in our country, it's that they refuse to play on an even playing field.
I don't think any sensible person would argue that it's okay to use an inaccurate item location and buying uk stealth accounts in bulk to pretend to be a uk seller while you ship from China and some of them have gone a step further and are taking part in identity theft all to appear genuine. If you don't believe me, search for any item you can think of on Ebay UK and guarantee the first page will be 95% chinese sellers. It's a plague really, i could go on and on how they've destroyed Ebay UK but you get the message and i suspect you might be chinese-american yourself or you simply haven't dealt with the chinese because they don't bother with USA that much. I can only hope Managed Payments puts a stop to these guys using 20 different accounts to completely take over a market. Shame on any UK account sellers here who sell to chinese and disregard the impact it has caused.

I have a long wire on this one. I would appreciate if you could you explain why is Managed Payments going to kill Chinese sellers and eBay?

I mean i was just browsing and straight away i see business information clearly showing the seller is from china/hk, and theirr item location is listed in the UK and delivery is 3 days, within 2 days dispatch, so the item is clearly in the UK, so delivery is same as UK sellers since they clearly have the stock in the UK.

It's one of the primary reasons I left eBay and Amazon and most definitely have become far more anti-capitalist in the past 5 years.

Personal selling now - just items around the house and I enjoy seeing what the latest is since I've been out the game so long as you can see by my account and post history.
