I am wondering whether ebay charges GST on the sale of second hand goods?

Ebay doesn't charge GST on any goods sold.

They charge GST on the fees, which is then paid to the government

Off topic, but why are you paying for a store with only 2 listings? You would be better off closing it and using the 40 free listings available to non-store sellers.

Members here will say that a store is not viable unless you have over 150 or so listings and a good sell-through rate.

Padi, good pickup - I didn't look before.

But, maybe, expensive items, saving on fees slightly?   Dunno, no good at maths.

Thanks for that comment about paying for a store that we don't need!  I thought that too. I cancelled that subscription a month ago and was shocked to see the monthly payment go out of our account last week. I wonder has ebay not registered my cancellation? I will want that payment reimbursed!

Well I'm confused.  

You had no items listed last month, or sales for the last 12 months, 

so how did you have a store to cancel?

I think once you open a store it has to run for a minimum time, and when you close it the same applies, so perhaps it has to run for a full 30 days after you unsubscribe.  I'd check the rules on it if I were you.
