I suspect that Paypal (being part of Ebay as I understand) will probably pick up that you are an Oz resident and somehow work the GST into the price???? Thinking that direct c/card purchase may avoid this??? Yep, Paypal The hammer was $13 and freight $23 so it's not much, so I probably got charged for the total balance. Not keen on sending money to a private account overseas (not that I buy much) so I prefer the protection of Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easier if buying from a business that takes credit card, whereas private sales wouldn't....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure FCP add GST? I just added some items to my online cart to check and it showed $0 tax when shipping to Australia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PayPal will not add GST if the seller did not, we'll they didn't for me. EBay add it in automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GST has always been on used goods purchased from a business, it is only supposed to be calculated on any profit though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, any overseas purchase will never have had a GST component, so will be based on the full price. I was referring to local goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9fan Posted 4December, 2018 Report Share Posted 4December, 2018 When you are doing the engine seals with the rollers and belt changes make sure you use Porsche seals. When I ordered an aftermarket seals kit from Paragon the seals were defective (poor manufacture and quality control). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
