Be aware ebay is wrongfully charging 10% GST on the postage cost at checkout when buying from an international seller when buying on ebay Australia.GST should only apply to the item and NOT the postage costs

GST = Goods and service tax
Postage is a service

·3 years agoAustralia Post is already Charging GST. Their Prices, as per Australian Law, are advertised as what you Pay, and already include the GST component within. So where Vendors are charging GST on the Postage Component of an Invoice, we are Paying GST twice, as well as GST on GST. How is it that a seller is collecting GST for Australia Post, who are also collecting GST for the same Service!! The same Service because The Item only gets Posted Once. And SO, we should only be subject to the GST for that Service - ONCE....
