How do I sell vinyl records online in Australia?
eBay is the strongest platform for records in Australia. Use Discogs to research what pressing you have and its market value — Discogs sold history is the gold standard for vinyl pricing. Grade using the Goldmine scale (Mint, Very Good Plus, etc.). Ship records in cardboard mailers designed for vinyl — standard boxes cause flex damage in transit. For 12-inch LPs, a purpose-built record mailer plus a stiffener board inside is essential. Australia Post has weight limits to watch — a double LP reaches 500g quickly.

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.
