  Is there list of which other importing countries Bricklink currently or intends
to charge GST (or similar, e.g. VAT) for? Can't find to find this information
on the site, thanks.

Simply Help button, search for "tax" maybe?

  It seems like Australian buyers will be charged GST as a hidden fee that only
appears during checkout.

In Australia, prices are usually listed as inclusive of applicable sales taxes.

This will show to Australian buyers only on stores that are not located in Australia.

  
Is it not possible to include GST upfront in the price guide and store listings
pages?

As far as I know it is not possible with the current source code of Bricklink...

  Dear BrickLink members,

On June 1, 2023 we plan to implement new marketplace features and settings to
handle Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST). This will mostly affect transactions
where an Australian buyer is purchasing from stores outside of Australia, but
it will also affect all Australian BrickLink members to a degree (both buyers
and sellers).

Here is a summary of what will change:

1. BrickLink will now collect Australian GST for all orders being shipped into
Australia from the outside with a consignment value under $1,000 AUD. As with
other taxes collected on the BrickLink site, this means that all such orders
will require an onsite payment method.

2. When seller invoices go out on June 5th, GST will now be added to the invoice
for Australian sellers.

3. Australian business sellers who are GST registered will now have the option
to upload tax information to their BrickLink seller profile. GST will not be
added to the monthly fee invoice for such sellers.

We plan to send out emails to all affected BrickLink members later this week.
For a deeper explanation of this implementation, please see our new Help Page,
Australian Tax:

Thanks for reading, and feel free comment below if you have further questions.

Are marketplaces expected to distinguish between new and second hand goods in
Australia?
