I've been having a lot of problem with the tax and the Thai custom kha, since I've lived in the US and always ship my merchandise through EMS to Thailand and most of the time, it's got caught at the custom. No matter how I define it on the package na kha or where I ship it to, the residential address or the work office (I declare it as a gift everytime but never get passed their sharp eyes kha).
Anyway back to your question, since the tax amount that they charge me is so unpredictable sometimes less, sometimes more, I then always reasonably estimate the tax and include it into the sale price and since all of my merchandise'll be shipped to my friend first, she'll take care of it (pay the tax and get my bag from the postal office) and and I'll pay her back kha.
Another thing I heard and it may be useful is if you send it with the priority mail or registered mail form the US, your package's rarely checked kha and that may give you more chance to have your item gets through smoothly, but who can wait for that long shipping process though.
I sent stuffs form here a few times. I never got caught and my friends also never. I guess if it's from Europe, then it's less "risky" than from US mung ka.
Anyway, it depends on the intention of the seller ka. If she or he knows that there's gonna be an extra charge form the custom and doesn't tell u, then she should pay for that. But if she doesn't know, then i guess she should pay for the tax anyway but may be half...umm nun is na
if it were me, then i will help paying the tax a bit...just in case if the seller is nice to me in the first place na ka...
