False location details

[cosmic_jester]

I just searched for inflatable Bath tub adults after my results were shown I selected Item location UK only. Every seller was listed as based in Hong Kong?
Also I have noticed when you choose location UK only the amount of results drop dramatically. Why is Ebay not checking sellers details and allowing sellers from outside the UK to be in the search results. I want to support local seller's in the UK but Ebay is allowing sellers from Hongkong and China to break the location policy. This is unfair and Ebay needs to start suspending seller's who breach their policies if not what's the point of having www.ebay.co.uk ?

the search criteria is for ITEM location

you cannot search for a sellers location

sellers who have a UK distribution point can state UK as the item location as the item is sent there first and then to the buyer

if you wish to avoid buying from these sellers you need to check the seller location before you buy,

to see the seller location go to their feedback profile page by clicking on the number in brackets next to their ID,

you should be looking at a sellers feedback profile before you buy anything, as that is what feedback is for, to be read before purchase so that you can decide whether you want to buy from that person.

if an item location is stated as UK and the item is sent directly to you, without going to the UK distribution point, you can report the seller for item location misrepresentation:-
