How do I become a Top Rated Seller on eBay Australia?
You need at least 100 transactions in the past 12 months, 98%+ positive feedback, and less than 1% defect rate. On-time dispatch within your stated handling time is critical. Top Rated Sellers get a badge, better search placement, and discounts on final value fees. It's worth pursuing once you're doing 20+ sales a month.

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.
