How do I show flaws in product photos?

Photograph flaws in good light, close up, with the item flat on a surface. Circle or arrow the flaw in your description but don't edit it into the photo itself (platforms dislike annotation). 'Honest photos of all flaws included' in the description sets buyer expectations. Hiding flaws costs you far more in returns and disputes than disclosing them costs in sale price.

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.
