We have the same issue here in Australia. There is a group of sellers selling dodgy batteries and chargers. They can be identified by the 'Item Location' being listed as 'NT, Australia' they are all china based sellers.

Some of the sellers are the other way around I just bought a meter that said it was coming from Hong Kong when it arrived 2 days later it had been Posted in London, and many times when I have puchased from ebay thinking it was from a UK seller it has turned out to be from Belgium,Germany or Channel Isle.
