Deception about location of item. Listing says location is U.S., actually coming from Canada

I ordered a couple rolls of bubble wrap and thought that I would see speedy delivery as I have every time I've ordered this from multiple sellers.   I needed it fairly quickly.   The location of the item was listed as being in the United States.  But after I buy it I find out that the delivery time is 9 days (it's been 10 days and it still isn't here) and the tracking states it's coming from Canada.  There was no tracking update for 9 days.  How did that happen?  If I knew it was coming from Canada I wouldn't have ordered from this seller.  I re-checked the seller's listing and they're still saying the product is coming from California.  Is it allowable to lie about the item's location?  This may be the first negative feedback I've left on Ebay.  I don't like deception like that.

Just an update on the situation.   As I said before, the listing specifically said U.S. as in California.  His listing still says California.   But the tracking said the shipment originated in Ontario, Canada.   Ignore the know-it-all dunces below who questioned my word.  I would say to them I am not an idiot and they should take my word at face value.   It finally arrived, but guess what?  They only sent one roll.  I ordered two rolls of bubble wrap.  I called Ebay and they said the only way to resolve the situation is to return the one roll they sent for a full refund.  So guess what?  Now I have to make a special trip 42 mile round trip to UPS to return it.   And guess what?  I just made that trip today.  Why?  Some other incompetent idiot sent the wrong rugs.   So now I have to burn my gas and go back again.   I also noticed that I ordered the rugs on Ebay but they came fulfillment by Amazon.   I never have left negative feedback on Ebay.  That is about to change.


1. As previously stated, there is an Ontario, California. Your item is probably shipped from there. We will never know, because you never responded to the request to provide a tracking #.

2. It is ok for Ebay sellers to drop ship from Amazon.
