Depending on your shipping courier. For some of them, they collect when they send it to you. Some is you pay straight to merchant and merchant will handle for you.

Depends on the merchant and courier. Some handled by merchant, some are collected during delivery, some are invoiced to you after delivery.

The GST charge is applied on CIF value S$400 or higher. Cost, insurance and freight.

Lot of my orders which went beyond 400 shipped via fedex I received a bill later which I paid directly to fedex. Fedex handled the import duties when it entered Singapore.

Example a 3d printer from Aliexpress, performance PC water cooling parts.

Amazon I always try to keep below 300 so never received any custom duty charges.

Does fedex collect extra from you? eg. admin fee.

U gotta pay GST for all orders above 400 bucks.
Plus admin charge if GST is paid on ya behalf by DHL, FedEx or UPS.

What if I buy graphic card from Amazon, the GST is already inside the cost or I have to pay the GST to the courier?

If GST is payable, it will be included. You will see an item "import taxes" at the payment page.
