SELLERS WHO LIE ABOUT THEIR LOCATION | Buying

Bought an item from a seller in New Jersey, then had a suspicion that he was actually in China. Called eBay to ask if they would verify the seller's location and was told, "I can't do that because of the seller's right to privacy." This is nonsense, buyers have a right to know where a seller is located, the rep was mistaken. Was finally told by the same rep, after I asked to speak with a supervisor, "He's in China". I choose to not buy from sellers in China (and India, but for different reasons) and so do many others, which is why sellers often lie about their location. On the rep's advice, I made a request to cancel, the rep could see that the item hadn't been shipped yet. The seller of course created a label after seeing the request and refused the cancelation. I'll return this thing and leave bad feedback, just wish that eBay would enforce it's own rules or step in when it can plainly SEE an item location lie. The seller by the way does not have a warehouse in the US because I asked him and he didn't reply and even if he did he's still based in China.
