New laws regarding the Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST) are going into effect in Australia. Australian GST is a tax of 10% on most goods and services sold or consumed in Australia, and today, it already applies to high-value goods costing greater than AU $1,000.
Under the new laws, eBay is responsible for collecting GST on low-value imports and paying it to the Australian Government. In order to comply with these obligations, as of July 1st, 2018, eBay will begin collecting GST from Australian buyers for items purchased from outside of Australia with a value of less than AU $1,000 on behalf of the Australian Tax Office.
If an item being sold is located outside of Australia, after July 1st, the item’s price may appear 10% higher to prospective buyers located in Australia as a result of the tax being applied. The GST will be added to the buyer’s order at checkout.
Sellers who sell to Australian buyers will continue to receive the full payment for their orders (item price + shipping and/or handling costs). They don’t need to register with any Australian tax authorities, or take any action at all.
Well since the sale is to Australia then this might apply. But still leaves questions as the payment in paypal is exactly like it should be, the price I was asking and the shipping. No taxes collect where ever they are going (Ebay).
You would think Paypal would break down the whole payment including taxes but it didn't.
Looks like seller paid normal price.
