Considering on making a bid on a bike related item
It says $30 postage which is fair enough
But it also says $20 tax.
Is that ebay covering themselves just in case or is there always a charge for second hand goods ?

VAT to pay on item+postage costs then duty too. And maybe a courier/RM handling fee

If thats via the Global Shipping Program they pre-pay the duty from that $20 so there are no delays in customs and no handling fee to be paid to courier.

Doesn't matter if it's second hand, the rules are the same.

It'll be the same from Europe before long if there's a hard Brexit.
