Total scam. I don't even think they speak English. They have obviously taken the description (and presumably the photos) from https://stores.ebay.com/AuctionBlockOnline and they didn't know enough English to edit to remove the name of the originally seller.

Smart enough to find items to list worth money but dumb on their language skills as already pointed out.
Original listing appears clumsy but genuine. What a shame. Your time will come Jur! ;-)

I believe it's a scam & that this bike was in the USA. Pictures are only being re-used. The giveaway is the unlikely event of a US Postal Service bin in the pictures. I mean, there could be one of these bins in Asia, but what are the chances?

Sweet bike. Right size for me.
But engage brain folks.
Why should a Chinese seller offer a made-in-US bike with delivery to Australia?
Why is the price quite so low?
Why is the English wonky?
Shame.

Reported the item as fraudulent since it is listed three times.
