Does Depop protect sellers in Australia?
Depop Seller Protection covers you against unauthorised payment chargebacks when you've followed the rules: shipped with tracking, sent to the address provided, and the item matches its description. It does not cover SNAD (Significantly Not As Described) disputes — those can result in a refund even if you disagree. Always use Depop Payments (not PayPal direct or cash), describe accurately, photograph flaws, and ship tracked for any item over $50.

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.
