I wanted to buy the item now - and make immediate payment of $150 US (as stated) The only additional fee was shipping - listed at $25.42 US. Unlike other items this Seller has available, there was 0 further charges - including $0 GPS fees. I proceeded to checkout where the total was $175.42 US as expected. I could NOT find any reference to additional charges or fees (including presumably, fees on behalf of GSP). concerned due to several other sales recently incurring unexpected GSP charges (not specified/included in final invoice), I opted to change my payment method from PayPal to credit/debit card. I then noticed that PayPal would still process any credit card payment I made. Even entering my card details, the balance owing/to be paid, remained $175.42. Once again concerned by PayPal's involvement, I decided to withhold making an immediate purchase and instead, added the item to my cart. Having done so, I then noticed that additional charges were listed in the itemised cart listing. According to my cart, the following fees are associated with the purchase of this item Quantity: 1 AU $197.78. (US $150) Expedited (10-15 business days) International Priority Shipping + US $13.27 AU $17.50 Import charges + US $35.28 AU $46 The total payable jumped from $175.42 US to $198.55 US. my question is how and why is this occurring? Also, I thought the GSP was suppose to be stipulated in the invoice during checkout?
