The ebay help pages are always a good place to start. All the information I found when I started that other thread a few months ago was found via ebay's help section on paying GST on imports.
If you wondered why people initially answered you the way you did, it's because of the negative connotations in what you said, and the fact that dozens (if not hundreds) of other people have asked much the same questions, almost always with the assumption or assertion that ebay had no right to collect GST and from an aggressive stance. Your post sounded very much as though you assumed the same thing as you focused on the negative side rather than the positive, ie. "is this inappropriate or illegal", rather than "is this appropriate or legal?"
