I just bought an item and it said located in the us and I checked tracking and its coming from japan

I wasn't aware that it would be shipping from Japan! It Said located in us and I have only us items. I spent 150$ on this item. I'm afraid I was just scammed. The user has good feedback and the item said it was shipped and I can see it but won't it take a long time to get to me? Or worse broken through that long shipping. How can a seller sell me an item that says from the us but isn't from the us? What can I do if it doesn't show up on expected time? Like it says will be here Monday and as of Saturday it's in Japan.

If you don't receive your item by the expected arrival date, you can open an INR case through the resolution center.

It most likely will take about 30 days to get to the US from Japan. I have received things in as little as 10 days from China, so it can get here faster, it just depends on the service type used to ship it. There is always a estimated delivery date on every item sold on eBay, that always give you a hint on where its coming from. If its over 10 days, its not in the US. As far as it being defective or damaged, that is not an issue as you have the eBay MBG to protect you. You would simply open a SNAD case in that example and the seller would have to pay return shipping and refund you. If the item hasn't arrived by the day after the last estimated delivery date, open a INR case in eBay.

From Japan?  Hardly.  Two weeks at the most.  I buy from Japan all the time and I have never had anything take longer than about a week and a half to get here.  If it's an EMS shipment, it will likely arrive in 3-5 days, so Monday is entirely possible.

In fact, here's one I just bought a week ago, shipped via economy shipping: RR269858791JP.  It'll probably be delivered on Monday, 8 days after it was shipped.
