How does Australia Post's MyPost Business band system work?
MyPost Business tiers lodge volume into bands, with discounts increasing at each level. Band 1 starts at 10 lodgements per month, Band 2 at roughly 50, and it continues up to Band 5 at high volume. Discounts are applied automatically at checkout when you log in and use Click & Send. The key jump is Band 3 — standard 500g satchels drop to around AU$9.50 including the satchel, making it cheaper than buying prepaid satchels at the post office counter.

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.
