I think I have been charged too much for import charges

I recently bought an item on EBay USA (I live in Australia). I was not told about any import charges until after checkout. The import charges are way too much. Do I get a refund of some type or do I have to wear the full cost? I'm not buying any more parts from EBay if this is going to be the case from now on. I don't mind paying the correct duty but I don't like being ripped off!

Check on the customs website to see if your type of item has special import charges.

 

Otherwise -

Duties into Australia is 10% of item plus shipping if the value of item is over $1000.

If item is under $999 or under, no duties payable.

 

If you are talking about the GSP, that is postage only not import charges.

You will need to talk to the seller about the costs.
