Is an eBay Store subscription worth it?
An eBay Basic Store ($24.95/month) is worth it once you're selling 50+ items per month. You get reduced final value fees, more free listings, and a Shop front on eBay. Do the maths on your specific category fees first — savings on final value fees need to exceed the subscription cost to make sense.

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.
