Cheated again on Ebay

Options
For the second time recently I have been cheated on E bay. Ordered an item shown as located in Birmingham UK and a fornight later it turns up direct from China. What I paid would have got me more than double the quantity from Temu which even has the same photo on its site.I would also have got it quicker. Ebay sucks.

    Getting more and more common I am not sure why these sellers don't get more negative feedback.

    That would surely stop it ?

    I'm not blaming you in the slightest because sellers lying like this is reprehensible, the only reason I'm asking is to maybe help you avoid lying sellers in the future: do you recall what the estimated delivery date was?  Sometimes that can give an indication, if it's a couple of weeks rather than days.  But it's not guaranteed that all sellers lying about the item location will have the correct delivery estimate, it's just helped me weed out some and avoid them in the past.

    If they lie about the location of goods prior to sale, then they still have to provide a UK returns address no quibble. ;)
