Dropfishing

A portmanteau of dropship and catfishing.

Where a customer orders something from eBay (or similar marketplace) and the seller insists that the item is located in the customer's country but then once purchased the item takes weeks to arrive and has obviously been sent from a Chinese warehouse.

"I paid more by going through ebay assuming that the seller had local stock and that meant i'd get the item sooner but they were dropfishing me all along..."
