Myer joins e-commerce rush

After threatening in December to launch a China-based retail website to allow Australian customers to shop GST-free, Myer has pushed the button on the experimental site with the online shop going live this morning.

Called myfind.com, the site is supported by a back office in Hong Kong and China that will offer a range of clothes, housewares and other merchandise to Australian shoppers and then fill those orders offshore.

As is the case with popular foreign retail websites such as Amazon.com and eBay.com, the goods will then be posted to Australia - but because they are coming from offshore, all purchases below $1000 will be GST free.

Can't beat them, so join them? Still just a little bit hypocritical.

Though I'm willing to bet they're artificially marking prices up a bit to make up for their lost local sales.

I find myself beside a stream of empty thought

llow Australian customers to shop GST-free,

d China that will offer a range of clothes,

se orders offshore.

d eBay.com, the goods will then be posted to

w $1000 will be GST free.

Lost Australian Jobs ? I bet there have been plenty created by small online business, both on and off Ebay.

The savings in not being ripped off by Myer and co, also results in extra spending locally too I would bet that that creates jobs, and raises living standards, especially for those who work for low wages at these large chain stores.

the GST on all imports.

So their prices are STILL going to be higher than individual imports from China? Perhaps not as high as local stores, but still higher. I'm still at a loss as to how this is going to help anyone OTHER than Myers die-hards.

make up for their lost local sales.

So their whining has nothing to do with actual losses then? You think they like whining just because it's fun?

Junior! Quit playing with your floppy.

Liberal Labor are like the Roman Republic where rich politicians try and induce votes by bribing plebians with elaborate promises and colloseum games.
