Tax invoices issued by EBay do not show surcharges and eBay is charging incorrect GST

Hi Ebay, firstly your chatbot is absolutely hopeless! Show me how I can chat to your Accounts team? Secondly, by law, you must provide me with an invoice/receipt which shows exactly what I have paid AND this should match with my bank account. I paid $686.63 for my item, yet you charged/withdrew $707.23 on my bank account. Thirdly, your GST calculation should be 10% and you have charged over 10%. How can I actually speak to EBay (not chat with the hopeless chatbot) ??? Please explain.

Yes they did, in their first post.........

 

"to have it transfer you to an agent, try typing in the words "speak to agent"... simples "

Thank you, just spoke to EBay who said it will deduct as USD and not the AUD conversion. The additional charges are from my bank, who charge a conversion fee because it is a USD deduction/payment.

Thanks, I did not see the second line due to small iPhone screen. Thank you everyone, this is resolved.

Whilst the chatbot is hopeless - it doesnโ€™t let you inquire about actual payments and the corresponding bank deduction, I did finally speak with EBay who were very helpful. So much better when you can actually speak to someone. Thank you Community for providing the โ€œcontact an agentโ€ shortcut.

The bot is very basic with equally basic generic responses - always has been. For any situation not directly addressed within the help pages, it is necessary to speak to an agent.

try buying Samsung next time you need a phone.  I'm using S9 (quite old really) and the screen size let's me read everything.
