What changed in Australia in 2026

Australian resale seller fees collapsed toward zero in the space of four months, and that is the real context for this page.

On 12 May 2026 eBay Australia restructured. An Australia-based seller with AU$25,000 or less in sales over the past twelve months, not on a Pro plan, now pays no final value or transaction fees at all. Cross that threshold and you are auto-upgraded to Pro Starter. The money moved to a buyer-paid Buyer Protection fee charged on listings from Australian sellers without a Pro plan.

On 1 July 2026 Vinted launched in Australia as its 27th market, with an exclusive Australia Post delivery partnership and, in its own words, “zero selling fees, so what you earn is yours to keep”. On 22 July 2026 Depop removed Australian seller fees, replacing a 10% seller fee with a buyer-paid marketplace fee of up to 5% plus up to A$1. In August 2026 Gettit launched on a buyer-pays-only schedule, having never charged a seller anything.

The same period took platforms out as well: Catch.com.au and MyDeal both closed, and Designer Wardrobe’s Australian arm is reported to be closing on 30 September 2026.

So the argument here is not the one you would have written in 2025. It is no longer “list there because it is cheaper”. It is this: when being listed somewhere costs a seller nothing, the only remaining cost of being on several platforms is the admin. That is a solvable problem, and it is the reason to read on.

The two buyer-side fees, worked out in dollars

Both fees are paid by the buyer, so what they decide is the total your buyer sees at checkout — still your problem, because it is what your listing competes on.

All amounts are Australian dollars, GST included where it applies. Three worked examples, against Gettit’s fee schedule as versioned for 1 August 2026:

• A $40 item. eBay’s buyer pays $0.30 plus 8% of the first $20 ($1.60) plus 6% of the next $20 ($1.20) — $3.10. Gettit posted: 7.5% of $40 plus $1.50 — $4.50. Gettit Secured Pickup: $1.40. Gettit local handover: nothing.
• A $120 jacket. eBay: $0.30 plus $1.60 plus 6% of $100 ($6.00) — $7.90. Gettit posted: $10.50. Secured Pickup: $4.20. Local handover: nothing.
• A $600 item. eBay: $0.30 plus $1.60 plus 6% of $480 ($28.80) plus 4% of $100 ($4.00) — $34.70. Gettit posted: $46.50. Secured Pickup: $21.00. Local handover: nothing.

The pattern is consistent, and worth stating plainly even though it is not the flattering version. On a posted order eBay’s banded buyer fee is cheaper than Gettit’s flat 7.5% plus $1.50 at every price we tested, and the gap widens as the price rises, because eBay’s marginal rate steps down to 4% and then to nothing above $5,000. If the item is going in a satchel, eBay presents the lower total.

In person the result reverses. Secured Pickup costs the buyer roughly half what eBay’s posted fee would, and a plain local handover costs neither side anything — the schedule’s words are “no fee of any kind, and no commission”. eBay has no equivalent, having removed cash on pickup in the same reshuffle. For bulky local goods Gettit is not slightly cheaper; it is free on both sides.

Who still saves money as a seller

One group, and it is worth being specific rather than implying it is everybody.

If you are on a Pro plan, or were auto-upgraded onto one by crossing AU$25,000 in sales over twelve months, free selling does not apply to you. You pay eBay’s final value fee out of your own money: on Pro Starter that is 13.09% in Fashion, Collectables, Media, Sporting Goods and Business & Industrial and 11.44% in most other categories, plus a $0.30 fixed order fee. Pro runs from $0 on Starter to $27.45, $82.45 and $604.95 a month.

For that seller the fee-arbitrage arithmetic holds exactly. A $120 jacket in Fashion costs $16.01 in eBay fees and leaves you $103.99; on Gettit it pays $120. A $600 collectable costs $78.84 on eBay and leaves $521.16; on Gettit it pays $600. Nothing is deducted, because no seller-side deduction is documented anywhere on the platform.

The buyer-paid eBay fee is not charged on Pro sellers’ listings. So a Pro seller’s eBay listing shows a clean price and takes 13.09% from them, while their Gettit listing adds 7.5% plus $1.50 for the buyer and takes nothing. That is a real choice about where the cost lands, and volume sellers should make it deliberately.

Cash on pickup is gone. Secured Pickup replaces it

This is the specific, non-obvious reason an Australian eBay seller might want a Gettit account this year.

Alongside the fee restructure, eBay Australia is reported to have made shipping labels mandatory for most free-selling items — with exceptions under $20, over $5,000, envelope-eligible, bulky and local pickup items — and to have banned cash on pickup. Both are documented by trade press rather than eBay itself, so we attribute them to EcommerceBytes and ChannelX.

If you sold furniture, prams or tools by having someone collect them with cash, that route closed. The alternative is Gumtree Australia or Facebook Marketplace, and both put you back where Australian sellers complain most: no escrow, no protection, a stranger in your driveway. Buying-and-selling scams on online marketplaces were the most-reported loss-making scam type in Australia in 2025 to date, at 9,628 of 19,662 reports and $8.6 million lost, up 19% year on year.

Gettit’s Secured Pickup is structurally different. The buyer pays up front, Gettit holds the money, and it is released when the buyer hands you a 6-digit code at the handover. The buyer protection fee on this route is 3.5% of the item price with no fixed component, and the order stays inside Gettit Protection. Nobody carries cash; nobody proves a bank transfer landed by holding up a phone screen.

Its plain local pickup is not the same thing: it costs nothing, and Gettit states it is at your own risk and not covered by Gettit Protection. Use Secured Pickup for anything you would have wanted insured, and keep plain handover for bulky, low-value items. Gettit also shows a seller’s location as a blurred centroid rather than an exact address.

One honest limit: Gettit Protection is capped at the amount paid and is explicitly not insurance, and covers non-arrival and not-as-described on shipped orders. Read it as a dispute process with teeth, not as cover.

What we do and do not know about Gettit

Gettit is new, and the evidence base for it is close to empty. You should know that before you put stock on it.

What is documented and dated: Gettit Pty Ltd, ACN 699 431 886, ABN 55 699 431 886, an Australian private company in Brighton, Victoria, ABN active and GST-registered from 24 June 2026. Its terms of service are governed by Victoria and versioned to 1 August 2026, as are its fees and timings schedules, each with fourteen days’ notice of change. It launched in August 2026, describes itself as “Australia’s marketplace for preloved, including the gear everyone else says no to”, and positions baby and kids as its deepest category. Its sitemap carries exactly 1,000 listing URLs and 164 category pages — 1,000 is a generator cap, so the truthful statement is at least 1,000 live listings, not a count.

What we could not find: any user, seller or GMV number. No ProductReview.com.au entry, against 1,856 reviews for Gumtree and 3,231 for eBay. No press coverage, and no forum threads, in a country whose sellers argue about marketplaces constantly. Google Trends interest in Australia of roughly 0.3 against Gumtree’s 77.7. If a page quotes Gettit’s buyer numbers, ask where the figure came from.

The honest framing is therefore not “Gettit will get you sales”. It is that listing there costs nothing per sale and nothing per listing, and your eBay listing stays where it is, so the downside is bounded to setup time. If Gettit charged a commission we would tell you to wait.

Which of your eBay stock belongs there

The second-hand part of it, and particularly the part you would rather hand over than post.

Gettit is a preloved marketplace. Its condition facets are Brand new (new, unused), Very good, Good and Fair, so an unused item has a place, but a catalogue of sealed retail inventory does not. Most Australian eBay accounts are a mix; crosslist the used half.

Within that half, a few things point at Gettit:

• Baby and kids gear. Prams, car seats, nursery furniture — the category the platform says it is deepest in, and one eBay handles indifferently.
• Bulky local items. Furniture, tools, e-bikes and e-scooters, where a free handover beats a satchel and eBay no longer offers cash on pickup.
• Anything unsold through more than one eBay cycle. It has not been shown to a different set of buyers yet, and this is the cheapest way to do that.

And one that points away: anything you need sold by a specific date. An early marketplace is not where urgency belongs.

How to crosslist from eBay to Gettit

1. Connect eBay in FLUF Connect. Follow the prompts; no browser extension is needed.
2. Import your eBay catalogue. FLUF reads your live listings and builds a master product record for each — title, description, photographs, price, condition and category.
3. Connect Gettit. Enter your account credentials. No extension is needed. Complete Gettit’s email and phone verification before listing.
4. Filter down to second-hand stock. Select the used items only, which is what keeps you inside Gettit’s preloved positioning.
5. Choose a satchel tier per item. Small, Medium, Large or your own box, chosen at listing, drives the prepaid label Gettit issues later.
6. Publish to Gettit. Select the items and crosslist; the listings are created through your connected account.
7. Complete the Stripe identity check. Do it before your first sale, not after, because no payout releases until it is done.
8. Leave sold-out protection on. When an item sells on either channel, FLUF takes the other listing down.

Neither channel needs an open browser. Gumtree Australia, by comparison, requires the FLUF extension to connect.

What transfers, and what you decide

Two rows need a human. Condition, because eBay’s ladder is longer than Gettit’s four values and the mapping is a judgement. Postage, because Gettit asks for a parcel size up front and handles the rest.

Postage: the prepaid Australia Post label

You do not pay postage out of pocket on Gettit. The buyer covers shipping at checkout and Gettit generates a prepaid Australia Post label.

What you owe the system is an accurate parcel size at listing. Gettit’s help material offers Small for a paperback, phone case or jewellery; Medium for clothing, shoes and small electronics; Large for a folded jacket or a few garments; or your own box. It must be a genuine Australia Post satchel — “one flat price for anything up to 5 kg… Australia Post doesn’t weigh or measure a genuine satchel” — and a non-genuine mailer can cost around $4 more. Use your own box and cubic weight applies. Drop at a parcel locker or post office; tracking updates on its own.

For an eBay seller this is a simplification and a small loss of control at once. You stop maintaining rate tables, and you stop being able to absorb postage quietly, because the Gettit buyer sees everything itemised at checkout.

The timing windows, which are stricter than eBay’s

This changes how you work, and deserves more attention than any fee on this page. Gettit’s timings schedule, effective 1 August 2026, sets four windows that matter to a seller:

• Dispatch: 3 business days from payment being authorised and the label issued. Miss it and the order is cancelled, the buyer refunded, and a missed dispatch recorded on your seller profile.
• Buyer confirmation: 48 hours from the Australia Post delivered scan. If the buyer does nothing the window lapses and payment releases to you, so confirmation is not something you have to chase.
• Maximum transit period: 21 calendar days from the lodgement scan.
• Returns: 3 business days to dispatch a return, then a 48-hour seller inspection window when it arrives back.

There is a distinction inside those numbers that catches people out, and Gettit states it explicitly: windows counted in business days skip weekends and public holidays; windows counted in hours do not. A Friday sale gives you until Wednesday to dispatch. A Friday delivery scan gives the buyer until Sunday to confirm. Learn it once and it stops being a problem.

The comparison with eBay is simply that this is tighter. An eBay seller whose worst outcome is a slower dispatch metric will find the same habit cancels a Gettit order. If you only reach the post office on Saturdays, list a smaller set there.

Getting paid: Stripe, identity checks and held funds

Your money is held until the buyer confirms, which is the biggest behavioural difference from eBay’s payout schedule.

The flow: the buyer pays Gettit, funds are held, you dispatch, the delivered scan lands, and the buyer confirms — or the 48-hour window lapses and funds release anyway. Payouts run through Stripe Connect, with a one-time identity check required before any payout, and card and bank details sit with Stripe.

Complete the identity check when you set up, not when a buyer is waiting; it is the commonest reason a first payout stalls anywhere Stripe Connect is used. The buyer protection fee is refunded whenever the buyer does not end up with the item, which tells you how the platform expects disputes to resolve.

The oversell problem, and what actually solves it

One physical second-hand item, live on two marketplaces, is one sale away from a problem.

Second-hand stock is single-quantity, so there is no buffer. The jacket sells on eBay at 9:40am and the Gettit listing now advertises something you no longer own — and missing the three-business-day dispatch there cancels the order and marks your profile.

An Australian seller posting as Doy described the position on OzBargain: “I put everything I sell on both platforms, and it seems inconsistent as to where I end up getting the sale from.” (11/07/2023). That works right up until two buyers arrive on the same day.

Something has to watch both channels and take the other listing down. FLUF checks for sales on a cadence set by your plan — every 90 minutes on Starter, 60 on Growth and Seller, 30 on Pro, 15 on Super Seller — and marks the item sold on the other channel.

Be realistic about what that guarantees. A check every 90 minutes is not instantaneous, and nothing talking to marketplaces over their ordinary interfaces is. What it changes is the failure mode: from “I forgot for four days and cancelled on a buyer” to a short window you can usually absorb.

What FLUF can and cannot do on each side

Gettit is a destination only. We publish to it and we can mark items sold on it. We cannot read a Gettit catalogue, cannot import listings from Gettit into FLUF, cannot relist on Gettit, cannot run offers or smart pricing there, and there is no Gettit order sync. If you already have stock on Gettit and hoped to pull it into FLUF and push it out to eBay, that direction does not exist today. We would rather say so here than after you have signed up.

eBay is the opposite, and one of the most complete channels we run: listing, relisting, offer management, order sync, refunds, fulfilment and mark-as-sold, all without a browser extension.

On plans: crosslisting, inventory sync, order sync and the bulk tools are on every paid FLUF plan, from Starter at £9 a month, with unlimited crosslisting to 50+ marketplaces. Relisting, offer management and smart pricing begin at the Seller plan, £29 a month — none of which apply on the Gettit side anyway. See the plans: 7 days for £1, then from £9/month.

What we could not verify, and therefore left out. Gettit’s user numbers, seller numbers, GMV and funding — none are published, so this page makes no claim about how many buyers you will reach, and the 1,000-listing sitemap is a generator cap rather than a count. Its satchel prices and the cost of its optional listing-visibility upsells. A launch date more precise than August 2026. Any current eBay Australia buyer number: the figure that circulates traces to a 2021 report and there is no official replacement, so we quote none. The label and cash-on-pickup changes, attributed to trade press because eBay’s own pages did not state them where we looked. Designer Wardrobe’s Australian closing date, reported rather than confirmed. And the proportion of Australian sellers running both, for which no data exists — the case here is an argument from two fee schedules, not a measured finding.
