eBay.com opens as eBay.com.au

I’m in the USA, and shopping in the USA. I  use the app to ask the odd question. Any answer will come as an email with a link to the item being sold. If I click on the link, it does not open the app, it instead goes online and opens eBay.com.au why is this? 

What has Australia got to do with USA activity?

Your account appears to have been originally registered in Australia.

By following a link to your "items for sale" and scrolling down the left side of the page, I see this:

You may have to contact eBay to get your registration changed to the US.

Thanks, I’ll have to write to ebay. My country shows as USA in my profile settings. But it’s definitely picking up Australia from some where and adjusting auction end time and price to suit Australia! P.s. (Account originally created in New Zealand)
