So I bought something from an aussie supplier on ebay

I get a notice it’s coming from china

so it was just a drop shipper

should I assume the seller has checked the product for safety? No. What would happen is I would be told to get a refund from paypal/ebay

I paid an extra $35 over what I could have paid on aliexpress

I bought a mouthguard a while back from Kogan, thinking I’d support a ‘local’ business. It was more expensive than from Amazon, but you know, local.

It arrived in a box with an Amazon docket showing the lower price kogan got it for, prior to the markup I paid. Bloody Kogan, never shopping from them again (and don’t get me started on the resulting spam)

  it also bothers me on an ethical level, there are people who don’t want to trade with certain companies and yet we get shenanigans like that

You’ll still get a refund via paypal/ebay.

Leave a review saying they’re a drop shipper and not an aussie based supplier.

Predatory tactics, so fuck’em and report.
