There are alternatives, for items that one just cannot buy in Australia:

• Buy from seller's own website. (If seller has an annual turnover of less than $75,000 to Australian buyers, there's no GST to be collected.)
• Buy from eBay seller but specify US parcel forwarding address. (Thus one would avoid the import charge which PB is imposing on top of the GST. The GST itself would be collected by the mail forwarder.)

but lisa, looking at it from the seller's point of view . . . . . better a missed sale than a lost INR case where they would lose the item, the postage they paid and probably gain a defect.

If a seller declines a request to opt-out of using GSP then they probably won't mind the missed sale anyway . . . . so no point nah-nah-nah-nahing about it.

Your post is so propostrous, even by your standards, that I have even broken from my normal posting style of starting my posts with a lower case character to say so.

When you post this type of stuff it affects your credibility, and I doubt that even my harshest critics would not draw the conclusion you have.

Definitely October worthy
