Do Chinese sellers still misrepresent item-location?

[walkingupwards]

I have a question for US-based sellers and buyers, do you still see Chinese sellers who claim their items are in the US, but they actually ship out of Asia?


Is eBay doing anything about it or they just give these sellers a green light to keep going?

Once managed payments is in effect, I'm hoping it will help weed out these toxic sellers

How would MP weed them out?! They can still register accounts with Chinese documents...etc

Its getting impossible to create Chinese or HK accounts if you trying to list item location outside china they simply dont allow before goes through full video verification with their ID etc seems like this is the reason but they do allow to list with china location

I buy lots of cheap cell phone accessories and don't see it anymore. Usually when these Chinese trash sellers put item location USA it appears to ship from a US warehouse.

I dont know how Chinese sellers would say item is in USA when they ship from China,as the estimated delivery date Ebay placed on the listing would be too short and buyer would file INR.
For low price light weight item,Chinese sellers usually ship 99 cents and it takes 30 days to arrive
