Sellers beware: Etsy Australia postage rates are increasing

Sellers beware: Etsy Australia postage rates are increasing

As shipping costs rise, sellers' profits are squeezed again.

 

Etsy raises fees by 5%

 

Etsy sellers will pay 5% more when purchasing Australia Post shipping labels through its system, according to EcommerceBytes, and the new rates will take effect on April 15. The specific fee changes for USPS, FedEx, Royal Mail, Australia Post and Canada Post will depend on the shipping service and destination.

 

As Etsy states, sellers in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada can purchase shipping labels on Etsy, and the company will notify sellers of shipping price changes on the Etsy Seller Handbook page. When sellers purchase a label on Etsy, Etsy will automatically mark all orders as shipped.

 

Etsy says the rate changes are already reflected on labels purchased on Etsy or will be updated when they go into effect. For U.S. sellers using calculated shipping, these new rates will also automatically update.

 

Most carriers and postal services change their rates in late December or January every year . Previously, eBay issued a new notice that UPS announced that the rate adjustment will take effect on April 11, 2021. The announcement stated that UPS announced rate adjustments for all shipping services under the eBay label.

 

Australia's e-commerce process is accelerating

 

According to foreign media reports, last year , Australians spent $50.5 billion online , and e-commerce accounted for 16.3% of total retail sales . In addition, nearly 9 million households across the country buy things online, and more than 1.3 million of these households are first-time shoppers. In addition, the trend of online shopping in Australia will continue, and e-commerce sales will continue to increase.

 

In summary, the process of e-commerce in Australia is gradually accelerating, and with the continuous increase in network penetration and the continuous change in consumer behavior, online shopping will become one of the main shopping channels for consumers. Although the freight rate has increased, Australia is still a market with great potential. This is still worthy of attention for cross-border sellers.
