eBay Australia

At eBay, our teams and technology are committed to keeping our marketplace safe. When it comes to product safety we achieve this by proactively blocking unsafe products, partnering with safety regulators around the world and educating consumers about safety risks. Globally, eBay's product safety filter algorithms blocked 32.6 million listing attempts in 2023 Since 2021, 235 product safety agencies around the world including the ACCC and the Therapeutic Goods Administration have onboarded to our regulatory portal enabling safety regulators to directly report for removal unsafe items from eBay within hours And today we’re proud to launch our new page educating consumers about the types of products that may pose a risk to safety. From button batteries to e-bikes and scooters, we're sharing up-to-date information to ensure consumers can stay safe.

eBay is a proud partner of the Australian Fashion Council (AFC) and is delighted to support its efforts to take a leadership role in Australian Fashion Week. eBay shares the AFC’s vision for the future of Australian fashion and believes in the power of circularity, empowering buyers to embrace buying and selling pre-loved fashion and extend the lifecycle of clothes. Over the past three years, Australian Fashion Week has been instrumental in eBay’s championing of pre-loved fashion. In 2024, eBay supported Australian designers such as ANNA QUAN and Liandra Swim, showcasing pre-loved fashion and accessories on their runways. We look forward to working alongside the AFC and the broader industry to continue to champion a new era of Australian fashion in the industry. #AustralianFashionWeek #CircularEconomy #PreLovedFashion #Innovation #AustralianDesigners #eBayAustralia Image Credit: Sonny Vandevelde

We recently invited the team at Australia Post to our Sydney HQ to share their latest ecommerce trends. It was an insightful session on the ever-evolving online retail landscape in Australia and consumer behaviour. It’s insights like these that help us understand what’s driving our customers and how we can better serve them. Thanks again to Rose Yip and Phillip Ngo from the team at Australia Post for taking the time to present to us.

We recently welcomed our VP & GM for Europe & International Markets Oliver Klinck to Sydney. During his visit we gained insights from our overseas markets, showcased innovative work the eBay Australia team has in the pipeline, and held sessions with our sellers, buyers, and partners. Most importantly, as it was Oliver’s first visit to Australia, we introduced him to our “one team” culture - from our lunchtime Phat City Walks around the city to our Family Day, where we invite team members to bring their families to the office for activities ranging from a reptile show to a jumping castle. It was a great way to showcase Aussie hospitality and the special culture of the eBay Australia team!
