What to check

  • Search the ABN or business name on ABN Lookup if the site publishes one.
  • Match the ABN, business name, domain, footer, checkout name, invoice name, and payment descriptor where possible.
  • If a site claims Australian warehouse or Australian owned, ask for the entity, dispatch location, and support route.
  • Check whether the site has a named operator, phone, support email, correction route, terms, refund policy, and physical or registered business context.
  • Do not treat a .com.au domain, AUD pricing, or Australian flag icon as proof of local accountability.
  • If the operator cannot be identified before payment, the ownership-transparency criterion should stay pending.

The fastest safe path is still the same: batch, COA, label, payment, support, and dispatch proof before trust.
