You should not have to pay duty if the item is less than 1K and comes from o'seas.
Most e-bay stores state that "you" are responsible for any duty or taxes (telescopes, cameras, lenses etc are 'duty-free' i.e you only pay tax) and if your supplier is happy to declare a less-than 1K total - what do you know?
I've never dealt with an e-store for cameras or lenses (I like a local warranty), but there seem to be a few who have been around a while with pretty good reputations.
Digital Rev is, I believe one of them.
I would suspect that "based in Australia" means they have a small office or some-such as there's no getting around paying GST if the item is supplied in Australia (unless you have your own business that could justify the purchase).
