You have been caught by the sales condition of "Seat selection is available for a charge for customers international Economy on sale fares". However your OW sapphire status should over ride that

Seat reservations

You can select your seat on Qantas operated flights+ after making a booking.

To select your seat, log in to manage booking or your bookings for Qantas Frequent Flyers.

Standard seat selection is complimentary for customers who are:
  • travelling on any Qantas operated domestic service
  • travelling internationally in Economy on a Saver or Flex fare
  • travelling internationally in First, Business or Premium Economy cabins
  • Platinum One, Platinum, Gold or Silver Qantas Frequent Flyers or equivalent oneworld and Emirates Skywards Frequent Flyers
  • travelling on an Economy Classic Flight Reward
  • on the same booking and travelling with any of the above mentioned travellers.

Seat selection is available for a charge for customers travelling in international Economy on sale fares.

Is this some thing that has to be done over the phone?
Finnair manage booking often works

Nothing to lose by making a phone call. Just be prepared for a wait
