Amazon should make it easier to filter away things with long shipping.. Looking for motorbike parts that i prefer shipped from Germany (to the Netherlands) i sometime go through 20-30 products before i find a local seller. I didn't used to do this and in 80% of the cases delivery of 2 months, with some 20% shipped within days. Amazon is terrible on tracking the objects too. After waiting for 2 months, the day come when stuff is suppose to arrive, only to wait another day and find out it was not even shipped yet.

To play devil's advocate: why? Unless it's fraud, those Chinese sellers aren't violating any laws that are relevant to Amazon, and it makes them tons of money, so why would they change something that doesn't make them run afoul of the law? Because "to improve customer experience" is only a valid reason of that comes with increased revenue, and it sounds like your suggestion wouldn't.
