Default Re: help buying stuff from overseas and ebay procedure.

Just one more point. When you buy this stuff, try and organise your shipping with a recognised shipper, such as DHL, FedEx and the like. They will do the customs entry for you, and send you an invoice for the Duty, GST and other Customs charges.

Sometimes you can engage a consolidator to organise your freight. Maybe the supplier can recommend one. For example, I import shock absorbers twice a month from the UK, and my consolidator (Transglobal) organises the freight about a quarter of the cost I can get from DHL or TNT here in Australia.

If you go cheap and rely on the postal service, you will have to do your own customs documentation, and deal with Australia Post for payment of the GST etc. It’s a shambles.
