Why do I have to pay GST on the postage as well as the item I am buying?

I know we have to pay GST on overseas purchases, but do we also have to pay GST on the postage.  This seems ridiculous.  Anyone have an opinion on this?  Please advise.

Well, personally I have only discussed this GST issue only around a handful of times. Also it's a new issue because Ebay has been adding GST for the last few months. Therefore a new issue.


    


You must have the biggest hands on the planet!  Either that or you can't count, or you have a very bad memory.

 

I just love the way you say a lot of people can't afford an extra 10%, but then you go on talking about collectibles as though they're absolutely essential to your existence.  If I can't afford something I don't actually NEED, I don't buy it, and I don't go around complaining about it.

 

Haven't you heard the expression, "There are two certainties in life - death and taxes"?  Instead of concentrating on what you don't have, try thinking about what you do have and be grateful for it.  Your whole outlook will change for the better.


Ha, you're behaving like you normally do and I'm sorry brerrabbit585 , and you're being very childish again and I can't be bothered saying too much more exect for the fact that you have too much time on your paws. Oh, and you're bunny-hopping again. Too much throttle. Ease up on the bull and you'd be fine. *SIGH*   Smiley Frustrated

You do realise this thread is about GST and not GSP don't you? You do know the difference don't you? Or is it that anything starting with GS gets your back up? I believe you like buying records. You're starting to sound like a broken one. I like collecting old records too, but it doesn't rule my life. If I want it bad enough, I pay what it costs.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT TIPTY TOE? You KNOW VERY WELL that I am replying to and discussing a GST related matter. So please stop trying to MAKE OUT that I am discussing GSP when in fact YOU KNOW very well that I am discussing GST and not GSP.  This latest is a bit lame, even for youSmiley Frustrated

You want to know my prominant ID? Why? You won't be able to troll it or cause problems to it. OK then, here it is, you did ask nicely, "bite_me". Good luck with that one. Make sure you buy up big.

You don't admit to all your other posting IDs so why would you think tippy would be stupid enough to tell you her selling ID?

 

If the best you can do is try and rubbish others who point out the truth, you're the lame one.

He has posted here with other ID's, but he thinks we are too thick to notice. He replies to his own comments and kudos his own comments. He forgets that people have a specific posting style. It's not hard to pick when someone posts with a different ID.

Clumsy side-step.  Smiley Frustrated

 

You make the accusation now back it up there tipty toes please !!!!  

What are my other IDs, this is the first time that you and your co-hoot the rabbit have made the accusation, his/hers thinly veieled and yours more direct. So please tell us all who my other IDs are.

 

Thanks

 

Oh, and if you can show me something I don't know then I'll stop asking for your main one. Oh great *tippy*toes*  with the ZERO feedback rating.

Surely you do understand why Tippy has a zero feedback rating? And who in their right mind would give you their other IDs with your behaviour. 

You are just being childish now.
