Selecting Your Postage  Costs

When listing an item for sale you have four domestic postage options available to you.

  • Calculated – This means you enter the weight and dimensions of the packaged item and specify the type of service (i.e. registered, express, pre-paid) and the cost will be automatically calculated. You can also specify a handling charge when using this option. Buyers will be shown the cost of postage relevant to their location (unless you have specified a pre-paid service).

To include calculated postage in your listing:

  • Select the "Calculated: Cost varies by buyer location" option in the Postage section of the Sell Your Item form

  • In order to calculate the Postage costs, you'll need to specify:

    • Package type

    • Weight of the package

    • Postage services

    • Dimensions of the package

    • Item location

    • Handling time and costs.

  • Flat – This means you charge a flat fee to post the item anywhere within Australia. Buyers, no matter where they are located, will see the same postage cost. Use the postage calculator on the Postage Centre to guide you as to how much to charge for postage.

  • Freight : Large & bulky items – This means postage may need to be handled on a case by case basis with postage details to be specified in the listing’s item description.

  • No Postage – This means you will not post the item but allow local pick up only.
