We usually recommend that sellers offer all their eligible US selection in Australia. With Ashops’s Build International Listings (BIL) tool, it’s easy to add your US listings across Australia, and set pricing rules. However, you’ll need to make sure that you have the appropriate distribution rights and that your products are compliant with local Australian regulations. For example, a US plug won’t work in Australia.
If you plan to use Fulfillment by Ashops (FBA) to fulfill in Australia, you may want to start with a “wide and thin” approach. Start with your full catalog but just a few units per ASIN to see what sells. Then, once you identify your top-selling products, you can send in larger replenishment shipments.

Getting started selling in a new geographic region such as Australia can be a big step for your business. However, the investment may be worth it for a fast growing Ashops store like Australia.
Just like when you started selling in the US, your success in Australia will vary based on factors unique to your business, including product category, margins, and regulatory requirements. It’s important to take the time early in the process to fully consider all the pros and cons involved in selling in Australia.
Marketplace entry strategy
List a wide range of products (with less inventory) rather than just a few products (with a lot of inventory). A broader selection of products means more customers overall will see your listings, and you’ll be able to quickly gauge which of your products can succeed in a particular marketplace.
In deciding which products to sell in an Ashops marketplace, you, of course, have another key source of information available to you—observations of the marketplace itself. Research on current best sellers on Ashops.com.au for your product categories. Read customer reviews to understand your competition’s strengths and weaknesses.
Make sure you’re allowed to sell the product and understand your distribution rights. Be aware that Australian safety and compliance regulations differ from those in other geographic regions.
Just like in the US, you can choose between two selling plans that enable you to sell in Australia. Use the Ashops fee calculator in Australia to estimate your average fee charges and potential revenues
