Product location
I noticed that sellers identify selling products location as tricky. For example:
Free UPS Ground. See details for shipping
Located in: Texas, Brazil
Import fees:
Import fees due prior to delivery.
I found it for many US products, but the sellers can collect import fee tricking the location. Be aware

If eBay is actually collecting import fees, it is because the item is coming from outside the US. Import fees collected by eBay do not go to the seller.
Likely you are seeing sellers that are shipping from outside the US but falsely claiming to be shipping from within the US. Check to see where the seller's account is registered on the feedback page.
While it is possible for a seller to be registered in one location and ship from another, a registration location outside the US is important information you should consider when deciding to make a purchase if you are trying to avoid drop shippers, shipments coming from overseas, or both.

OP8 months agoWrong statement. Product is US made. several sellers claim as Texas, Brazil or Texas, Sri Lanka locations. Do you want to tell these sellers shipped liquid soap to the other country to sell it in the US market?

Mentor8 months agoYou should at least consider the possibility that those sellers are either drop-shipping from a US location (in which case there should be no customs fee collected by eBay), or else selling something other than the US product that they are claiming to sell.
