How should I photograph shoes for resale?
Shoot from six angles minimum: left side, right side, front, back, sole, and inside tag showing size. For sneakers, add a close-up of the toe box and heel for condition assessment. Stuff the shoe lightly with tissue or newspaper so it holds its shape. Natural light or a lightbox on a white surface is the standard. Show any scuffs, creasing, or sole yellowing in separate close-ups — buyers expect this.

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.
