How do I measure clothing correctly for resale listings?
Use a fabric tape measure on a flat surface. For tops: chest (across armpit seam, doubled), shoulder width (seam to seam across back), length (bottom of collar to hem), and sleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff). For bottoms: waist (across waistband, doubled), hip (widest point, doubled), inseam (crotch seam to hem), and rise (waistband to crotch seam). Always measure the garment flat, not the body. Include 'all measurements flat, double for full circumference' in your listing to avoid confusion.

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.
