Since July, the government here in Australia has imposed GST (10%) to be applied to low value imported goods. This generally gets included at time of purchase from most retailers (eBay, etc) but not all stores do it (depends on annual income from Australia), thus sometimes we're able to get stuff through without additional payment. Play-asia didn't charge me any more.
Amazon got the shits (don't blame them) & refused to comply so instead completely restricted any deliveries to Australia unless purchased through amazon.com.au. A few other stores did the same & don't ship to Australia anymore either. Still not as bad as the greed you have to endure in the EU.
But lets get back on topic...
