import charges
Hello All, Have noticed lately there are import charges on international purchases. Payable in the currency of the country you are buying from. This is in addition to the Global shipping program charges.
Australia does not have import charges for items under 1000$. Have been having to pay these charges for items under
200$. Thought it was the GST under the guise of Import Charges. But this works out far more than the 10% GST Australia now has on international purchases.
Vouchers/ coupons are also not available for the length of time stated. Had one that was supposed to be available until the 8th of July.
It disappeared today, the 6th July.

·7 years agoHi there, Thank you fro bringing this to the attention of the "SHEEPLE."
GST is one thing, but import duties on an US 8 dollar purchase and glob shipping and paypal exchange rate and c/card fees for an internationanl purchase landed me with a FIFTY FOUR dollar bill....US $8.00 plus glob shipping = AUD $54.00. HOW DOES THAT WORK....I call it EXTORTION!. Ok sellers, its up to you if you want our business....got it?

·7 years agoIf the postage was so high on the item, why the heck did you buy it? The charges are very clear in all GSP listings, so you only have yourself to blame.
Never fear, there will be someone along soon who will smother you with sympathy.

Doing things like that over here gets people put somewhere else...but to be so smart as you are in your last remark lets the ALL of the people who read it now know exactly what you are, doesn't it? You tipped the bucket on yourself. lol lol lol
