Just like anything else in life, safety for yourself should come first. Here are a list of 3 ways to help your interaction on our site Sell My Wedding Dress safe.
3 Ways to Avoid Scams
- Never give out your person information.
This may sound like common sense, but scammers these days have ways of talking you into giving out person information. If the offer is too good to be true, then it is probably too good to be true. - Never ship dress (or wedding item) until you receive payment first.
If a potential buyer has contacted you regarding an item you have listed, only ship the dress (or item) after you have received payment (the preferred method is via PayPal). - Use common sense.
When dealing online, please use safety first when selling your dress. If you are close enough to meet the potential buyer in person, meet in a public place and bring someone with you. If you are selling to someone long distance, connect with that person via Skype, Email, Facebook, or other well-known Social Media outlets. However, still use caution.
