Is this permitted on eBay? Im not selling myself, but I did buy an item that was listed as in the UK, which ended up being shipped by Ali Express from China.
Looking at the users feedback, the biggest complaint they have is that items are taking a while to arrive and outside the 3-5 business days they quote in their listings. So I suspect that this is the norm, and I'm concerned that the item I have purchased is a Chinese knockoff.
I think it's clear that they are listing items from AliExpress and undercutting prices for items they sell on eBay. I'm not sure if this is something worth reporting. eBay doesn't seem helpful or contactable, so I'm asking the community.
