PLEASE REMEMBER
You will receive payment for your items within 7-14 days of the postage date, or earlier if the buyer marks the item as received.

As an online security measure, it is our policy to pay new sellers via PayPal for their first five sales.
YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY
Communication is key, always be as polite and as prompt as possible when liaising with prospective buyers. Honesty is vital and will avoid returns and wasted postage costs.
AUTHENTICITY AND ACCURACY
While we don't always keep the original packaging, receipts and labels, clear photos improve browsing and lead to more successful sales.
Always photograph the entire item, keep the background simple and avoid blurred or filtered images.
PLEASE NOTE THAT PROFESSIONAL SELLERS ARE DEFINED AS:
Operating as a boutique
A business using the platform to sell their items.
Purchasing directly wholesale or in bulk with intent to make a profit by reselling.
Selling multiple identical items in new and unused condition.
Sellers uploading end of line/season stock.
It is every professional seller's responsibility to follow the UK laws for selling and declaring.
