Are you thinking of moving to Australia for other reasons (besides to sell on eBay)?

Things to consider: Location, Location, Location

- Shipping in Australia is rather expensive so unless you are selling small items that fit in a post satchel it is worth considering location in terms of the cost to freight

- Cost of living can vary a great deal so if you don't want to be working just to pay the landlord or the bank I would suggest giving Sydney a miss.

- Some areas are prone to natural disasters (we have flooding up north and bushfires down south at the moment) and besides the potential to be caught up in these natural disasters there is the problem of postal delays.  Now you would think buyers would understand this, but some don't so air freight/express post is wise at these times.  Again, if your item fits in a satchel then that is OK, otherwise it will cost a fortune.

 The biggest issue with selling on eBay Australia is the competition with Chinese manufacturers selling direct and offering free/cheap postage.  Apparently it costs less for an item to be posted to Australia then it costs to post across Australia (e.g. Sydney to Perth).  Top Rated Sellers get a small boost in search results, but we don't get discounts on eBay fees.
