How should I photograph electronics and tech for resale?
Photograph the item powered on (shows it works), every port and input, back panel with serial number visible, any accessories included, and any cosmetic damage close-up. For phones, include a screen on and lock screen shot showing no cracks or dead pixels. For consoles, photograph all ports, the disc slot, and controller condition. White or neutral backgrounds work best for tech. Include a photo of the box if present — original packaging adds 10–20% to resale value for electronics.

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.
