I know what you mean Wheels, there is one particular seller of statuary that is in China that states item location Australia..the items in fact are not in Australia nor is he located in Australia, he has terrible feedback and this is the third ID that I know of.
He has been reported consistently on all three ID's for at least two years and yet he is still there with misleading information and bad selling practices, he did lose one of the ID's but is still permitted to operate... nice one Ebay.
