That is a once off from a crooked company.

Anybody overseas buying from USA on Ebay using the centralised posting system is really ripped off. Standard postage quoted on many items on Ebay from USA from companies starts at around $54 for say a pair of sunglasses or a jeep tail light.

Private sellers will send you the same item for a quarter of that postage.

The classic case of how stupid are the general public can be shown by the high approval of putting 10% GST on all Ebay etc sales from overseas "to make the big operators meet their tax obligations". How can they not see the farce of an extra automatic 10% going on your payment from YOU direct to the government. Not one cent is collected from Ebay, PayPal or any other seller who makes huge profits from Australian sales and still pays zero tax.
