What are the best markets and fairs for sourcing in Australia?
Sunday markets at Rose Street (Melbourne), Glebe Markets (Sydney), and Trash & Treasure at Flemington racecourse are standouts for vintage and preloved clothing. For collectables and toys, swap meets like St Andrews Market (Vic) are strong. Garage sales advertised on Gumtree on Thursday–Friday are reliable for furniture and electronics. Estate sales often have the best margins — search for local estate agents with clearing services in your area.

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.
