I run a small business (side hustle) for Electronics (phones, tablets, etc) on eBay within the US and Clothing on Poshmark/Depop.

Are there equivalents in Australia? Are they actively used, or is the culture different?

My girlfriend and I are moving to Melbourne from Chicago in October for work. We're likely going to get a few week-long Airbnb's to test a few neighborhoods before booking, but would love some recommendations and feedback from this group.

A few key details:

• Total income: $220K + $95K = $315K (budget = max $1,000?)
• 32M & 26F, no kids no pets, no debt.
• 2 beds minimum, we're fine with 1 bath but obviously 2 bath is better.
• Work is downtown but it's Consulting so high probability we'll be traveling and likely will only go in 1-2x per month
• Activities include intramural sports, running, wineries and breweries. We're big social drinkers, but not like standing, crowded bars - more pub/restaurant/brewery vibes.
• Will most likely get a car, but open to feedback - ideally a walkable area
• We're used to high-rise living but interested in walk-up style. Units with outdoor space are a must, pool nice-to-have if it's a high-rise.

Thank you in advance!
