How do I authenticate vintage Levi's before buying or selling?
Key indicators: the care label printing style (introduced in the 1970s), the Red Tab stitching (capital E pre-1971, lowercase 'e' after), the back pocket stitching pattern, the font on the denim patch, and country of manufacture. Pre-2000 Levi's made in USA, Mexico, or Canada are the most sought after. Check Levi's Archive on their website or the 'Dating Levi's' community on Reddit for detailed era identification. Single-stitch side seams indicate pre-1990s construction.

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.
