How do I describe the condition of sneakers when listing?
Sneaker condition grading: Deadstock (DS) — worn once if at all, no creasing. Very Near Deadstock (VNDS) — tried on, minimal box time. 9/10 — minimal wear, light creasing. 8/10 — normal wear, visible creasing on toebox. 7/10 — regular wear, significant creasing or light sole yellowing. Always photograph the inside heel (wear and staining), sole condition, and any yellowing. For sneakers over $100, include measurements of the sole length as size consistency varies by brand and era.

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.
