Again, tired of ordering an item needed in the relevant future only to find it's coming from China and will be weeks away. ALL China shipments need to be clearly indicated.

It is a violation of eBay policy for a seller to misrepresent the location of the item.  So you can report the seller to eBay customer service if you want.

You can contact customer service using this link to ask for a call back:   https://www.ebay.com/help/contact_us?id=4191&st=10    Please note that if the wait time for a call back is too long eBay will remove the option until the wait time is shorter.  Just try again later.  Customer service is open from 5am to 9pm Pacific Time.

The "US only" item location filter selects items that are listed as being in the United States; however, as you may have seen, not every seller that lists items in the US ships from the US as they should. You can report such sellers for item location misrepresentation, but until eBay actually cracks down, your best course of action is to avoid such sellers entirely.

Before ordering you should check the estimated delivery dates -- that is usually a good indication of how far away items actually ship from. Also, going to a seller's profile page or feedback page will tell you where the seller's account was registered. If a seller is registered overseas, that raises the likelihood of an item shipping from outside the US, particularly for multiple quantity commodity items. Checking seller feedback will often reveal if there are problems with long shipping times, canceled orders or other supply chain warning signs.

Note that some US-registered sellers may be drop-shipping their items from overseas, too.
