I have said it before but why do overseas sellers advertise products on Aus ebay with a "does not post to Australia" note.
WTF.

It is probably due to the eBay global shipping program. Does ebay give a shipping cost but the seller's description say no international post? The GSP gives the seller an address in their country and then it gets forwarded.

Otherwise you may be looking at google results showing ebay.com.au in which google indexes ebay and gives the Australian site but doesn't look at the shipping since it is "Google's view" of ebay not as if you browse it yourself.

What annoys me more is the “Ships from Australia” but that’s after it’s shipped from China to the sellers agent in Australia. So still takes 2 weeks!

I haven’t found many decent used mini parts on eBay recently, mostly Facebook groups and marketplace have had the best stuff

The last thing I sold on eBay for $50 was charged $7 of fees! 14% of the item price! It’s no wonder so much has moved from eBay..

eBay is still good for auctions, where you have a minimum price but are hoping for more. You just have to factor in the fees.
