There are at least 2 warehouses in CA which serve the Chinese sellers but they would have to pay for their merchandise in US $ plus USPS shipping .so what is left after Ebay fee would be converted to Chinese yuan,profit is smaller .
we are not talking about stealth account,you asked a question about Chinese sellers claiming goods are located in USA

Not sure what she is trying to accomplish?
Does she want to set up an Ebay account saying she is in China?and then have the US warehouses which serve Chinese sellers in CHina to fill her orders?
if you can find these warehouses,I think you can ask them to do the same for you,no need to pretend you are in China
Chinese sellers based in China ,if they are not using the warehouses in CA,then they will ship from China,lite item costs only 99 cents to ship to USA,sometimes they even offer free shipping,it could take up to 30 days to arrive,usually less than 30 days.
There are still many small Chinese sellers on Ebay,they can be found on AliExpress.
There are some who have been layoff and given merchandise as severance pay.
There are also some employees who steal or pick up the rejects and sell on Ebay
There are some who just walk across the street and pick up what has been ordered on Ebay,$1 US comes to $6.50 Chinese,enough for a bowl of noodles for lunch
But these Chinese sellers will be buying in local currency,say GBP or US or EU$,and being charged shipping in local currency,they make little .
I am referring to the Chinese sellers who rely on UK or US warehouse to dropship,then they will be buying from such warehouse in local currency and pay them shipping to his buyer in local currency,not Chinese dollars
It is called renminbi .meaning people currency
These are big wholesalers/distributors which buy from the factories and import them to warehouses in US,UK,Germany,then they advertise in China,inviting small sellers to register with them and list items available in those warehouses.
Many young Chinese are unemployed,they stay home with their parents and sell on Ebay to earn some allowance.
there was a time Chinese will buy stuff from us and they will all be sent to a location in CA and then to China.
They have their own auctions of Western antiques,and Chinese antiques as well,the revolution destroyed many of their own antiques ,some ended up in Europe.
I am referring to high end antiques,theirs and ours.
I know a company which has some very nice expensive watches,clocks going back to 18th century,they are all going to Chinese buyers.
The ultra wealthy Chinese want their antiques back and European antiques,we dont have antiques they desire,they are not old enough .
But they do enjoy our Starbuck coffee,Kentucky fried chicken and McDonald hamburgers and french fries.

It could be Ebay reps in USA,passed the infor to EBAY China and it takes time to remove them.

I doubt they are shipping their own merchandise to a US warehouse or UK warehouse,they are just dropshipping from that warehouse,there are 2 in California.
commuting from China to HK is pretty easy,they can cross the border into HK and back same day or even same hour.
My mail man told me about TEMU,I tried it,I dont think it is worth my time.
WISH is publicly traded ,did not know it now becomes TEMU
