eBay sellers Told to Include GST
noisymime writes "The Age is running a story on how The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has requested eBay Australia to enforce the inclusion of the GST on all sales/auctions. Previously this was recommended but not a requirement. Is this reasonable protection for buyers or simply a frustration for everyone? What about all the other sales and auction sites available to Australians?" Moreover, how will this apply to other countries with GSTs - or sales tax?
Perhaps you should read this if you think slashdot is in the wrong by including all those state abbreviations, etc...

You'd make less of a fool of yourself if you didn't waffle about subjects that you clearly know nothing about.
Ok troll, I'll bite. You'd make much less of a prat of yourself if you showed at least as much social skill as a gnat and didn't abuse people you didn't know. Tell me do you get many dates this way?
No, it's not. It actually works pretty well if you RTFM. It's certainly a damn sight better than the old system.
You're one of those retards aren't you? RTFM. RTFM my arse. Not everyone wants to be a computer expert just so they can use the system. Likewise not everyone wants to be a tax accountant or tax law specialist (since we have no choice about using that system if we wish to avoid jail). How would you feel if when you broke down by the side of the road and called the auto service they told you to RTFM and work out what was wrong with your car. Imbacile!
Now you're trying desperately to support a weak argument with a total non sequitur
Well fuck you very much too. I don't need a definition of non sequitur you condescending git, and the fact that you feel the need to define it shows that you're using an idea that's new to you as if no one else has ever heard of it. If I did need it defined I could look it up on google. Ever heard of google? Take your childish sarcasm and you're newly learnt reasoning skills and shove them where the sun don't shine.
For the record, I have plenty of goddamn evidence in the form of tax bills and other documentation. Forgive me for not broadcasting them here. What was I thinking!?
Property taxes in Australia, particularly the ones you describe, are state matters, and have absolutely nothing to do with the Federal tax system that the article is about.
State tax, Fedral tax, yours truely has to pay it. Yes GST is a Fedral tax. So what. You can still talk about the tax system in this country as a whole. Every state has land tax here, though its adminstered differently. Who died and made you king of the scope of this argument?
If you're going to make an argument and abuse someone at least do it well, not like some incompetent high school student who thinks they're king shit because they made the goddamn debating team.
