How come we get free postage from China for stuff on ebay but the same stuff from Australia has a postage charge ? Sometimes within the same state. I am all for international competition but this seems a little unfair. Is the postage charge absorbed by the price or do foreign suppliers just get better deal ?
Unfair postage system ??

China post is heavily subsidized by the Chinese government,
the Yuan is kept low to promote massive sales.
Chinese business happily sells products at low cost but moves tens of thousands or even millions of a product line.
Also China Post, USPS and eBay have a trilateral agreement with Epacket to keep postage costs at a bare minimum.
There are probably a dozen other factors that come into play too

Can't blame he Chinese government for working in the interest of the Chinese. But why can't we do the same ffor Australia ? Australia post has the money for multi million dollar executive salaries etc. Maybe use the money from the sale of the ABC ]

who else would pay 7 billion $$ for surveillance equipment that should in reality cost closer to $ 192 million ?
why does an invoice for military equipment total $ 105,000 when the supplier quotes me $ 16,500 for the identical parts ?
where is the independent scrutiny of where our $$ are spent ???
We are one of the highest taxed countries on earth but they p1ss it up against the consumption wall.
China must pi55 them selves laughing when a $20 dollar bulky item is sent free postage and Australia has to use a frieght company to deliver it , ive bought items worth $20 bucks and a courier has delivered them to my door , my guess would be $80 bucks frieght in Australia let alone the air frieght costs.
