Yes, and that's not a bad deal or anything, but if you have literally not a single lolita item in your home, you don't buy the secondhand dress from Closetchild and call it a day! You still need to collect all the lolita appropriate and matching coord elements shoes bags blouses socks etc and it really adds up. Even shopping smart, after shipping and fees, you could easily end up spending $100+ on basic accessories for one outfit alone. It gets easier as you go, but starting out it's a pretty big investment, and I think newbies should know that especially if they intend on looking good- not be told to shop on Taobao or Bodyline just because it's cheap and readily available.
