Created eBay store but still getting charged $1.50 for listings + stuck in USD currency??

[card-and-trinket]

I am in quite a spot here. I've recently listed a few items on eBay.com.au (I am Australian) and had no problems at all.

In order to keep listing items for free I signed up for an eBay store to get 150 listings free (the $20/month store).

This is where the problems start. First, if I try to list anything on eBay.com.au (just like before), it wants to charge me $1.50, even though I'm meant to have 150 free listings.

So if I try to list through stores.eBay.com.au, once I click on the sell link, it instantly takes me to stores.eBay.com, gives me free listings, but then wants to convert all of my listing currency to USD! Not only this but it says the only place I ship to is the USA and my only shipping options are U.S. postal services - which is completely useless to me.

Help? =/ I really just want eBay to stop charging me the $1.50 listing fee on eBay.com.au and give me the free listings I signed up for.
