💡 Why Aussie eBay brands matter — and why you should care
If you’re a creator in Ireland who wants to get featured in brand campaigns, Australia is a smart target. eBay Inc. connects buyers and sellers across 190+ markets and in 2024 enabled US$75 billion in GMV — that scale means Aussie sellers on eBay often act like proper retail brands, not just random marketplace listings. For creators, that translates to more formal marketing budgets, repeat campaigns, and measurable ROI — exactly what you want when pitching.
Local trends back this up. Athleisure and e-commerce growth are driving active marketing spend (MENAFN, 2025), and older cohorts like Gen X are spending more this season than marketers give them credit for (Moneycontrol, 2025). In short: Australian brands selling via eBay are actively chasing sales across demographics, and many will partner with creators who make conversions easy.
This guide shows you, step-by-step, how to find the right Australian brands on eBay, craft outreach that lands, package campaign ideas brands can’t ignore, and present data to win the feature slot. No fluff — practical, streetwise tactics you can try this week from Dublin, Cork, or anywhere with decent Wi‑Fi.
📊 Quick comparison: Where to find Aussie brand-opportunities
| 🧩 Metric | eBay Australia | Brand Website | Instagram / TikTok |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active | 1.500.000 | 400.000 | 800.000 |
| 📈 Conversion | 9% | 6% | 4% |
| 💬 Direct Contact Ease | Medium | High | Low |
| 💸 Average Marketing Budget | Medium | High | Low |
| 🔎 Discoverability | High | Medium | Medium |
The table shows eBay Australia is strong for discoverability and conversion versus socials alone, while brand websites usually give the clearest direct contact and budget signals. Use all three: find products on eBay, validate the brand on their site, then use socials to personalise outreach.

💡 How to find Aussie brands on eBay that actually run campaigns
- Search with seller filters
- On eBay.com.au, set location to Australia and filter “Business sellers” not “Private”. Brands running campaigns usually sell as businesses.
-
Use keywords plus brand-related phrases: “official store”, “AU stock”, “brand authorised”.
-
Validate on the brand’s site
- If they have an Australian site or a “Wholesale/Partners” page, they likely work with creators.
-
Check for press pages, newsletters, or affiliate programmes.
-
Scan social proof and packaging
-
Look at product listings for professional photography, bundle deals, and “New-in” or “Limited edition” phrasing — tells you they invest in marketing.
-
Use market intelligence
- Cross-check category trends. Athleisure and home tech are active categories (see MENAFN athleisure forecast). These verticals tend to hire creators.
📢 Outreach templates that get replies (use these, tweak, repeat)
Keep it short, specific, and outcome-driven. A/B test DM vs email.
Template A — Short DM (Instagram or TikTok)
“Hey [Name] — love your [product on eBay]. I’m an Irish lifestyle creator with [X] engaged followers in the UK/EU. Quick idea: a single 30s demo + swipe link to your eBay listing during my next week’s ‘finds’ reel — I can track clicks and sales. Happy to do a paid collab or revenue share. If you’re open I’ll send numbers. Cheers, [Your name]”
Template B — Email (for marketing@ or partnerships@)
Subject: Quick pitch — campaign idea to lift eBay AU listing ROI
“Hi [Name],
I’m [Name], an Irish creator (IG/TikTok/X/YT links) who drives high-intent traffic for product launches. I noticed your eBay AU listing for [product]. I can run a performance-focused micro-campaign: 1x short video, 1x story with swipe, UTM links and a tracked discount code. Expected CTR 3–6% & measurable conversions.
I propose: €200 fixed + 6% commission on tracked sales for 2 weeks. If you prefer, I’ll run strictly CPA at €X per sale.
Can I send a quick one-pager with past examples?
Best,
[Name]”
📊 What to include in your media one-pager
- Quick stats: followers, average views, typical CTR, past campaign ROAS (real numbers).
- Audience slice: % AU/UK/EU, age groups — brands care where spend comes from.
- Example creative: screenshot or short breakdown of past high-converting post.
- Tracking plan: UTM + unique code + post-campaign report.
- Ask: clear call-to-action (CTA) for the brand — “Approve creative and provide sample by X date.”
💡 Practical tips to boost success rate
- Lead with metrics, not fluff. Even small creators should include view rates and past conversion examples.
- Offer a low-risk pilot (short run, small fee, revenue share).
- Use eBay-specific angles: emphasise “Buy Now”, “Free shipping AU”, and listing reviews — these lower purchase friction.
- Suggest timing around local events (Black Friday / Boxing Day / Singles’ Day tie-ins). Retailers follow global sale moments (news pool shows Black Friday attention, 2025).
- Pitch exclusive bundle or limited-time code — scarcity helps.
🔎 Real outreach roadblocks and fixes
- No replies? Try the brand’s seller messages on eBay — sellers often manage listings themselves and reply quicker.
- Legal/Compliance concerns? Offer a simple disclosure script and show previous compliant campaigns.
- Shipping cross-border concerns? Suggest digital-first promo (awareness + link) while they sort international fulfilment.
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I check if a seller on eBay is an official brand or a reseller?
💬 Look for business seller tags, consistent storefront branding, official contact info, and matching brand websites. If the product images and descriptions match the brand site, it’s more likely official.
🛠️ Should I price myself in AUD or EUR for Aussie brands?
💬 If billing directly to the brand in Australia, quote AUD to avoid exchange confusion. If working via an EU invoice, EUR is fine — be transparent about fees.
🧠 What’s the best success metric to promise?
💬 Promote measurable actions brands value: tracked purchases, clicks-to-listing, and UTM-driven conversions. Avoid vague vanity metrics.
🧩 Final Thoughts — quick checklist
- Find Aussie sellers on eBay, validate on brand sites, and use socials to personalise.
- Pitch short, measurable pilots with clear tracking and a low-risk payment structure.
- Time outreach to sale moments and highlight conversion-friendly listing features.
Do that and you’ll move from “Can we collaborate?” to “When can you start?” faster than you think.
