Hi,
It doesn't matter if it is from a big store or a gift from your aunty
Mavis, if it has a value - including shipping - that is more than AU$500
you pay GST on it (more exactly if the bill from Customs is more than
AU$50).
The most expensive thing we have brought in is a microscope worth
AU$2900. We had a brooker handle it for AU$79.
UPS and FedEx fees can be excessive coming into Australia and I would
ask about that before agreeing to shipping. We have everything sent via
the post.

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.
