• Setting up and running an online shop
• Product research and clear descriptions
• Packing and posting orders

• Australian Consumer Law covers refunds, warranties and honest product claims, so check the requirements
• Selling compatible cartridges rather than genuine brand ones needs accurate wording to avoid misleading buyers
• Stock tied up in slow-moving models, so start small
• Check whether running stock from home needs council approval
• Register for GST once turnover reaches the threshold

Startup costs are estimated at typically around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how much stock you buy and how your shop is set up. Starting small helps avoid cash tied up in slow-moving models.

Monthly revenue is estimated at typically around $800 to $4,000, depending on your range, pricing and how many customers reorder. These are estimates only, and revenue is not the same as profit after stock and postage.

Check Australian Consumer Law requirements for refunds, warranties and honest product claims. If you sell compatible rather than genuine brand cartridges, check your wording is accurate. Also check whether holding stock at home needs council approval, and GST registration once turnover reaches the threshold.
