Gee, I wish I could get paid to comment on here, but then again I might really pi### the rest of you right off, as I could flood the boards with thousands of comments. Surely would have to be an easier way of turning a quid than my current endeavours.
Dear Mr/Mrs Fox, just to make it completely clear. I am a fully fledged Aussie, born and Bred. I was registered for GST and went through all the community training seminars etc, that were conducted when GST was first implemented. I am also an importer
of goods and have been paying GST and import duties on high value imports, long before the current changes were even considered. I also kept up todate with the Implementation of GST low value imports, a process that was negotiated over a period of some four years. It is obvious from your many comments, that you do not understand the process and the difference between Australian Goods with GST included and the New method of adding GST to imported goods through ebay. It is also blatantly obvious that you do not understand the validity of ebays T&Cs as issued to cover each and every special offer to members. The very same T&Cs that you must accept, either directly or tacitly ,so as to avail yourself of these offers. I have the utmost confidence that ebays teams of lawyers, who draft the T&Cs, are well aware of their obligations and responsibilities in complying with Australian Laws, be they Taxation or otherwise.
I would recommend, that as the implementation of GST on low value imports, is not compatible with your remittance methods, that you do some basic research and learn to import those very same goods GST Free.
