can sellers add gst to an auction

[*sparklz*]

No

If they charge that it should be in the price and can not be added at the end of the sale.

No they cannot

here's the ebay ruling on it.

quote:       All prices of items are deemed inclusive of GST, where it is applicable to the listing. That is, sellers who are required to charge GST must not add an additional amount on top of the final bidding price or Buy It Now price on account of GST – the price is considered inclusive of GST.  It is the seller’s obligation to ensure that they are meeting all obligations with respect to GST. This means sellers who are listing using the auction format and that are required to charge GST will need to set aside 1/11th of the final value for GST purposes.

No - from July 1st of this year (2018), thanks to new government legislation, all items listed on eBay and that are not located in Australia, are subject to GST when purchased and delivered to Aussie buyers.

eBay (not the sellers) will automatically add the charge during the checkout process, unless the item is being shipped through the Global Shipping Program, in which case the additional costs are charged by Pitney Bowes (who provide the shipping service from the overseas location to Australia). 

If you use the 'add to cart' function, you should see all applicable costs up front, before committing to buy.
