How do I offer combined shipping on eBay Australia?
Enable Combined Shipping in eBay Seller Hub under Account > Postage Preferences. Set a discount rule — for example, charge full shipping on the first item and AU$2–3 for each additional item. Buyers buying multiple items can then request an invoice with combined shipping before paying. Combined shipping increases average order value and reduces per-item postage costs. Actively message buyers who've purchased once to let them know you offer combined shipping on additional items.

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.
