How do I ship internationally from Australia?
Australia Post International is the most reliable option for one-off international sales. Pack Go starts from around AU$16 for a 500g parcel to New Zealand and AU$25–$40 for the US. For regular international volume, DHL Express or FedEx offer better rates. Always use tracked international postage — untracked overseas shipments have no protection if the buyer opens a dispute.

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.
