In all probability that simply means the seller in Hong Kong lied when
setting up the account.
Could be, but I go with Spehro's description of this in this case, that
context he describes is convincing. (Chinese family connections between
China and localised emigrants in Toronto).
Attempts to communicate with ebay tend to be frustrated by their use
of bots to answer emails. I doubt very many are ever read by a human.
The second usually is.
a real answer. The main problem is the different person each time, but once
interest is sparked at their end they usually deal with it directly even if
just to convince the sender that they don't need to keep sending. If they
automate that too, their user base will start to decline dramatically, as
that would then be a very obviously and deliberate failing in customer
relations, the likes of which consumer programs like to embarrass firms
with, so someone in eBay is always listening, but I think they don't like
to encourage us.
