I have just been charged $678 after I had already agreed on postage. I complained to eBay and they can’t tell me what the charges are for. They say it’s for GST. But the maximum GST can be is 10%. About $170. But I got charged $678.
This is a disgrace. Especially as there was no warning for these charges. The first I heard of them was after I had purchased the item.
I feel that this is fraud.
You've posted this across multiple topics, so I'll reply across multiples, too.
As I pointed out in my response here, you've simply failed to read the listing properly, as the import duties for a GSP sale are most definitely shown before the conclusion of an auction or the purchase of a BIN item.
To quote my other post,
" ...here's another GSP-enabled item from the same product category, for auction, from the USA, showing the same info, which at the time of posting has a single bid and 4 days left to run:
Item #154049939162 | 1 bid @ USD850 | Shipping ~USD61 | Import charges USD308.88 (estimated and based on current bid). "
You need to read through eBay listings properly before bidding/buying. This important with any eBay listing, but especially so with items located overseas.
NEVERMIND ON TROUBLES!!! LET'S DO HOBBY!!!
