Pitney Bowes is a logistics company.  They run the Global Shipping Program (GSP) which is a shipping method on some USA and UK eBay listings.  The payment for items using the GSP is split into two payments, one to the seller and one to Pitney Bowes.

 

The payment to the seller covers the item price + the domestic shipping to PB.

 

The payment to PB includes the GST payable on the item + the charges they charge for processing the exporting of the item to Australia + GST on top of their charges (it might appear as a single charge called “import charges).

 

Any import charges are between you and the government but instead of you paying them when you collect an item OR postie delivers it instead its collected at source.
