Difficult issues with foreign sellers

[mikelardner49]

This is a request to EBay.

I personally have found my experiences with Chinese sellers to be fraught with problems and will never purchase from them again however,  the clarity of the seller is often made difficult because as a buyer it is not made clear on the sites where the product comes from and who the seller is.

EBAY WILL YOU STATE ON EVERY SITE WHO IS THE BUYER IS AND WHERE WHAT COUNTRY THE PRODUCT IS COMING FROM?

Item Location  on UK listings can often be different from Site of Seller Registration) = 'Goods in the UK at the point of sale - sold by an overseas seller through an online marketplace' >

You can check the Country of Seller Registration  by using their >> 'View Listings/Items for sale' < links and scroll to > 'Seller information' < field in Left Hand Column = site of Seller Registration. 

Item located in the UK but Seller Registered outside the UK site ? ... will trigger the 20% VAT charge >
