Then it should be listed as GST payable, not Import Fees. It's confusing and inaccurate.
Anything under $1000.00AUD while being charged GST, is not charged Import Fees or Taxes.
eBay needs to change the coding of their sites to recognise purchases entering Australian addresses, under $1000.00AUD need to show the GST cost, and purchases =>$1000.00AUD need to show Import Fees/Taxes* (*which also incorporates the GST).
Pretty simple change and it would resolve all the issues regarding the confusion of the current situation.
I wanted to buy something from a seller in the US and I'm in Australia. All up the cost to me in AUD was to be around $112.05 for the item and postage.
These are the actual figures in USD as shown if purchased:
Item (1) US $59.95 ($82.25 AUD approx.)
Postage US $21.72 ($29.80 AUD approx.)
Import charges US $12.75 ($0.00 AUD)
Order total US $94.42 ($112.05 AUD approx.)
GST on this purchase is a total of $12.05 AUD ($8.17 USD, not $12.75 USD)
If we are to accept the import fees area listed in the sale is meant to be GST due on the item, then it is clearly being overcharged, as well as being mislabeled.
It's simply not good enough.
