Vendors with different usernames but identical item shipping location
I haven't been able to find a successful search result on the above-mentioned topic yet. I find the offers from sellers with various username registrations, who by default always have the same shipping location for the item, annoying and not worthy of eBay. Of course, this is common at **bleep**, for example, that stock goods come from a **bleep** logistics location for shipping.
But I don't think it's right that every seller on eBay is allowed to do this, and that the seller status is deliberately presented in an opaque way by eBay due to a lack of identifiable details.
There is room for consumer-friendly improvement...

·7 months agoIt is neither forbidden to sell “with a wide variety of username registrations,” nor prohibited and therefore also logically and permitted that “the same article shipping location is always used by default.”
Where do you see a problem with that?

·7 months agoThe whole thing can even violate the Price Indication Ordinance (PAngV) if the same seller is selling under different prices/names (marketplace names), even though it’s actually the same company behind it.
This can sometimes be observed in price comparison sites.
Even manufacturers that offer their goods directly don’t stop short of such violations.
Consumer protection agencies ought to be booming right now, really.

·7 months agoWell, you may be right, but TE doesn't say anything about the same members and different prices for the same items.

Then I must have read that part differently.

·7 months agoCould you please explain your problem to us a bit more clearly and in more detail?
But right off the bat: it is not forbidden to have multiple accounts with the same item locations.
What about that bothers you?
