Australian-only marketplace

ScentSell is exclusively for buyers and sellers based in Australia. This is by design — it keeps shipping times predictable, supports Australian consumer law protections, and ensures our fraud prevention systems work effectively.

What you'll learn​

  • Why ScentSell is Australia-only
  • What this means for buyers and sellers
  • How international fragrances are handled in listings

Why Australia only?​

  1. Shipping reliability — Domestic shipping via Australia Post and Shippit means parcels arrive within expected timeframes. International shipping introduces customs delays, higher costs, and more disputes.
  2. Consumer protection — Australian Consumer Law (ACL) applies to all transactions, giving both parties clear rights and obligations.
  3. Payment compliance — Stripe Connect for Australian businesses has specific requirements that ensure sellers are verified Australian residents.

What does "Australia only" mean in practice?​

  • Your account address must be an Australian address. This is verified during Stripe Connect onboarding.
  • Shipping is within Australia only. Listings don't support international shipping destinations.
  • Payments are in Australian Dollars (AUD).

Can I list a fragrance that's not available in Australia?​

Yes. Many sellers list fragrances that aren't sold by Australian retailers — niche houses, limited editions, or items only available internationally. When listing, you can toggle "Not available in AU" to indicate this.

When this toggle is on:

  • The valuation system uses the full international retail price (no second-hand reduction)
  • An additional $15.00 AUD is added for shipping costs
  • The retailer selector switches to international retailers (Harrods, Nordstrom, etc.)

This means international-exclusive fragrances often hold more value on ScentSell than their AU-available counterparts.
