There should be a way. I just don't think it's fair that us normal everyday folk be collateral damage.

You are not collateral damage.  You are the intended target, as it is designed to stop you from purchasing from overseas.  It dosn't

affect businesses, sole traders etc, as long as they are registered for GST.   If it is that big an impost, learn how to import without paying GST

sorry 4channel, but I put collectors into a different category than normal everyday folk when sorting eBay buyers based on their purchases.

To me, ordinary everyday folk don’t spend thousands of dollars every year on non-essential imported collectables.
