Could you please tell me why ebay is taking a percentage from the postage

I'm far more curious to know why Australian buyers of items from ebay.co.uk are being charged VAT at the usurous rate of 20% when the product is being exported for use in Australia. 😞

Shouldn't the Australian component of ebay pay tax in Australia?

Yes, why do the British get away with this fort. If you send a message and ask them why you're paying VAT you get no answer. Like I have said before scum is scum and thieves are thieves. It would appear that the British didn't send every thieving scrum bag to Australia years ago.
