Unfortunately you get what you pay for
you pay bottom dollar, you get shoddy not checked gear.. the Chinese are just catering to the demand.

My biggest point of contention (with ebay) is when sellers falsely represent the product as coming from Australia and state that the postage is fast and free, then they drop ship it from China and it takes 3 weeks to turn up, then when you get it it's in a China post satchel complete with a Chinese shipping label. It's getting really hard to find a genuine local seller for electronic components. Does that type of false representation prevail in other countries too?

... it's that easy - Chines can produce super-high-quality product (as seen with their smartphones or space-ships).
And they have perfect Q.C. proceders too, to achieve the needed quality.

I think it's more complicated than that. From the point of view of someone wanting to have boards assembled in China, Chinese producers can produce good quality kit, but you need to monitor them and hold them to account when there are problems. Also give them either ATE or a detailed test schedule, and monitor their compliance with it.
For individuals buying from China, there is the risk that you are buying rejects, or boards that haven't been tested. Although I've been lucky with small circuit boards purchased from China so far.
If you are buying to resell, there is also the question of whether what you are buying is CE compliant. I remember hearing that the CE-marked PSUs that an OEM was buying turned out to have been assembled using leaded solder. Some of the major PCB houses used by individuals and small companies (e.g. Itead) still default to using lead in the PCB coating. So it's wise to assume that anything you buy from them is not CE compliant.
