Ok, so you are not interested in being given the correct information, then asking eBay is indeed the best way to go

 

Their 'job' is to tell people what they want to hear (literally to get rid of them)

 

Other members are not here to tell people 'what they want to hear' so you will find the vast majority of member here provide facts instead

End of story !

But why does eBay send me an offer in AU$ but if I then want to purchase it, GST is added. Why don't they post the price inclusive og GST?


Because you are being shown the international price without GST.

Say the offer is for an item valued at  $500,  you buy the item and are invoiced price plus  GST   IE: $550.

 

Now if you decide to buy a quantity of 10,  The invoice becomes  $5000.   ebay is not responsible for collecting  GST as the amount is greater than $1000.  so the invoice remains at $5000.

When your shipment arrives at the border, you are contacted by customs and required to pay  $500 GST, plus any other charges that may be applied.

 

Plus as others have said, even though your ebay account is in Australia.   No one knows where you are currently located or where you want the item shipped to.  You could be holidaying in the south of france.

My head hurts. Should I send Dennis Denuto an email asking for advice? If anyone knows, he will.
