I need a tax invoice with GST for tax refund but I can not find it anywhere on ebay...
How can I do that?

If you buy from Australian businesses that are registered for GST, ask those sellers for a tax invoice. In fact, tax invoice is usually sent by such sellers at the time of the purchase.

If you’re buying from Australian businesses that are not registered for GST, I suppose you can ask for an invoice stating GST not payable, but you might just as well use the regular invoice. 

If you’re buying from Australian sellers who are not businesses, they can’t issue a tax invoice, obviously.

If you’re buying from overseas sellers, they can’t issue you with a tax invoice, but the eBay invoice will show the GST collected on your purchase by eBay… or, if the purchase is through the GSP, you’ll have received an invoice showing the GST etc collected on your purchase by Pitney Bowes.

Of course, as you can’t purchase anything for your business stock or for business purposes through the GSP, those invoices can’t be used for BAS statements.
