    How can I find out a seller's location before making a purchase, and having to wait to see where it is shipped from

    You can see the location the seller specifies as the item location in the item listing, though not all sellers ship from the location they specify as they should.

     

    You can see the location the seller used to register the account on the seller's feedback page, though again, this does not necessarily mean the seller ships from there, either.

     

    Looking at the estimated shipping dates can provide a clue to how far away the seller is, or at least how fast the seller is able to get the item to you.

     

    The seller's feedback received as a seller can provide clues to what sort of seller you are dealing with, or if the seller has a problem with item location misrepresentation, cancelled orders, delayed orders, or supply chain problems.
