Key Differences

Four areas where TurnGoods and SimpleConsign diverge — and why it matters for your Australian store.

AU Tax Compliance

SimpleConsign is US-focused with no BAS, GST, or TPAR support. Australian stores must manually handle all tax reporting. TurnGoods includes GST/BAS reports, Xero/MYOB CSV export, and TPAR-ready consignor data — saving your bookkeeper hours each quarter.

Consignment + Cross-Listing

SimpleConsign is consignment-only. TurnGoods combines consignment management with cross-listing across 3 marketplaces (eBay AU, Shopify, Trade Me NZ) so you can manage your entire resale workflow from one dashboard.

AUD Pricing & AU Support

SimpleConsign prices in USD with no Australian payment gateway integrations. TurnGoods is priced in AUD with Stripe built in for AU merchants, meaning no surprise currency conversion fees and a checkout experience your local customers will recognise.

Laybuy Management

Layaway and lay-by are common in Australian secondhand retail. SimpleConsign doesn't support them. TurnGoods has built-in laybuy management with payment tracking and balance reminders — perfect for furniture, electronics, and higher-value pre-loved goods.
