I haven't ordered overseas from Ebay, but with Adorama, it comes through UPS. They have a customs broker who calls you up when the package arrives in Oz. You provide them with a credit card to take care of the brokerage fees, which includes the GST, and some UPS fee). Then they ship the box to you. If it is a private sale (i.e. the ebay person doesn't sell 2nd hand goods professionally), then it shouldn't attract GST. If it is a commerical ebayer, then I guess it should. Derby
