Should I use Australia Post or Aramex for reselling in Australia?
Australia Post is more reliable for tracking and delivery speed, especially with a MyPost Business account that drops prices to around $9.50 per satchel. Aramex is cheaper from $7.61 per parcel but delivery times are less predictable and tracking updates can lag. For small, lightweight items under 1kg, Aramex saves money; for anything heavier or time-sensitive, Australia Post is the safer choice.

Key things to know for Australian sellers
Australian online selling has its own quirks: GST registration thresholds, Australia Post rate structures, and platform-specific buyer behaviour differ from the US and UK advice you'll find most readily online. Checking ATO guidance directly and using the Australia Post postage calculator for accurate quotes are good starting points.
Using multiple platforms together
Most successful Australian resellers end up selling across at least two platforms. The marginal effort to list on a second platform is much lower if you already have photos and a description, and reaching two different buyer pools meaningfully increases your chances of a sale.
