Item location different from seller location

I'm searching product (Industrial Electronics part) from US or North America.  I found searching result show location from US but when look in details, most sellers are from China or Hong Kong and just be the member within 1-2 years.  And most of this sellers use same picture for products.  It will be much better if Ebay check for this strange behavior of sellers and improve searching tools to include seller location.

@ruttawatveawsaha-0,

When you search eBay's  U.S. site from a foreign location, Thailand in your case,  the "Distance from: or U.S. only" filters will not be displayed, because of your location.  If the search results you get show many of the same item all using the same photos, with only a small difference in price, that generally indicates China based sellers.  If those listings say "U.S. based seller in them, and have symbols based on the U.S. flag, that too usually indicates the seller is based in China.  The Chinese sellers flood our search results with their products as well, using claims of being U.S. based, when they often ship from China.

About to only way you can get the filters you want, is to find a freight forwarding company based in the U.S. who will ship to Thailand. Once you find one, add their U.S. address your addresses. Before searching if you make the Freight Forwarder's address your Primary one, then you will see the U.S. only or Distance from: filters when you log into the U.S. site. However, you should still check the seller's profile page to make sure they are not actually China based, because some do ship from chinese owned warehouses in the U.S..
