Their reaction is a bit over the top, she could have just said "sorry I can't ".
Cheaper shipping usually is more unsafe so that could be the reason they don't want to offer cheaper options.

I wish more sellers knew about the USPS padded flat rate envelopes, shipping is $8 and can fit most things. Good for if you’re lazy and doesn’t cost the buyer $15 shipping. USPS first class package rates are going up anyways, last time I shipped a blouse with that it cost around $5

[Anonymous No.10142521]

>>10142513
Oh, I didn't know they had a padded envelope one. That is a reasonable price, too.

The $3.50 was a low end price for sure since I had a very small box from a hard drive I ordered and it was a 5-day shipping option.

I believe 2-day would have been around $7-8, which again isn't unreasonable at all.

I use to use those padded flat rate envelopes but they stopped carrying them a few years back and they won’t restock them so I’ve been stuck using the other priority envelopes but they still only cost 8-15 depending on weight.

What the fuck are you talking about? PayPal operates based on you linking it with a bank account but the transactions as a seller on LM are run through PayPal not any kind of card or bank directly. PayPal is notorious for siding with buyers even when sellers take pictures of goods and packaging.

As a seller if a buyer makes a claim all you can do is respond to the PayPal messages. There is no bank or credit card

Tfw that’s exactly what I’ve been doing because I was anxious to be a good seller but people are still too stingy to pay €20 to ship a €200 dress to the other side of the planet. I’ve had almost a dozen interested people ghost me after I told them how much it will cost to ship to their country, even though it’s in the item description too.

One time I requested a "set with accessories" from chibi. Good thing she's excellent at keeping track, out of the blue one day she emails me that she got the matching necklace from AP for a dress that came out like a month or two before, I'd have missed it entirely since I've even received the dress already, and I'd given up on the necklace as something they made only for the photo shoot.

Sometimes I wonder if they're doing it to milk a series, or maybe they look at how well the release is doing and then decide whether or not to release the full accessories (DDC was one where the accessories were spread out so far apart, I think the crew socks came out months later and then a year later there was suddenly a DDC umbrella).

Or maybe they're just bad with logistics and put everything that comes in on their shelves at once and let the buyers sort out which one goes with which series.

Several people are arguing about it.. I'm grateful I live in Europe and everyone just re-uses envelopes and bags instead of charging the buyer for shipping material, and we don't have the problem of flat rates.

I think spacing out the main pieces & accessories might be a strategy to get customers to come back to the store regularly. Their business model seems to prioritize in-person shopping over online sales (they regularly have tons of stock in stores and very little online), and every time a customer sets foot in the store, they have a chance to upsell them on additional items.

At least, that makes sense for me when you see accessories coming out a few weeks after the main items - those pieces would have already been produced, so they're not a response to strong sales, they were already planned and in their release stream. Stuff like the DDC umbrella & socks that came out months later feel more like "hey, this design sold really well, let's release some more" to me.

Then again, there's lots of stuff about lolita brand strategy that's weird, so who really knows?

Flat rate isn't overcharging. If I live in Ohio and ship a jsk to California or Arizona: first class isn't available because jsks are too heavy. Priority would cost 9-12 depending on weight of jsk material. Priority flat rate envelope is $8 unless you add additional insurance to protect yourself as a seller. The envelope and $14.40 flat rate box are recyclable depending on where you live. If I am shipping that same jsk to someone else in Ohio it will still cost around $6.80 priority or more because non flat rate goes up in price every year along with everything else. The ignorance of people who never sell is amazing.

My unpopular opinion is that otome can be used as a synonym for lolita. Yeah I read those articles before, and it does look different from lolita, but otome is also used by lolitas and people like Takemoto Novala, and Otome no Sewing exists, which is obviously lolita and not vintage/olive fashion.

Why do people think buyers need to tell them they aren't interested? No other shop or sales platform operates like this. Imagine if shop people agonized over walk inside that said "I'll think about it" and never came back. Or eBay buyers that ask a question. Why do lolitas think asking a question is some hot lead? I've even see people refuse to sell something to me because someone else asked a question and dropped off the face of the Earth and the dumbass seller thought they might still be interested. It's completely idiotic and no one else does this.
It's not "ghosting". It's completely normal customer behavior literally everywhere else on the planet.

You didn't even read what I said. You don't need to hoard boxes. The only way you'd be caught without one is if your item sold instantly and you hadn't bought anything recently. Even then that means you have to run to the post office to get your "free" box.

True. I use plastic envelopes or bubble mailers and weigh them on my food scale. Just print the label and stick it in my mailbox and my mailman just picks it up.

I hate clutter too and am actually kind of a minimalist. But honestly the boxes and scale aren't a big deal if you sell online even semi frequently. I think girls are just just making excuses why they can't try something that other people can do no problem.
Also, it's a little more expensive to buy postage at the post office. And they don't even always have the box you are looking for. Then you're locked into buying a "free" larger priority box you might not need.

It's not always that they assume it's a hot lead, it's simply noticeable.

It's like with people who always ask "what's the MAX size of this dress". You immediately know it's a fatty chan with very, very low odds of fitting in, even lower odds still they actually buy anything. But it's still noticeable when everything you post that has even a hint of shirring gets a "what's the MAX size" comment, they vanish, then come back a month later and ask you again "what's the MAX size".

Sure, they're not buying. But still noticeable.

>removed the buttons for the waist ties

If it's a blouse, the owner might only own/wear it with jsks, in which case the waist ties and waist tie buttons never get used. It might just be removed so there isn't a bump on the outside of the jsk.

For skirts and dresses, I've received secondhand dresses that have waist tie buttons but no waist ties, in which case i always remove the button since there's not much use for them. It would be kinda weird if you received waist ties without the buttons though.

[Anonymous No.10144017]

>>10143991

It's worse than >>10143994 says, girls who paid $400 for the MTO likely won't sell it for $250 straightaway. So you're still looking at paying around $400-600 for one of the new dresses, the prestige is gone and people still assume you're on the hype train. Your best bet for a cheaper dress is to try and find an older one now that's already a bit worn, then it'll go for slightly cheap.

On the other hand, even with the prestige being gone it's a highly hyped up, highly anticipated MTO. You'll get a lot of girls looking for coord inspo commenting and liking stuff, the way Holy Lantern was everywhere for a while after the first release. So for $600 you can at least get some eyeballs on you, if that's up your alley.

Well, a lot of people are complaining the IDD blouse looks good but feels cheap and stiff irl, so having more of them on the secondhand market speaks to me of disillusioned owners whereas the meta blouses are better than they expected so they get hoarded.

I usually check if the person is new or doesn't have a lot of feedback and then I'll go out of my way. Especially if I'm selling a lot of things, I'm already taking time out of my day to go to the post office, respond to messages, etc.

On the contrary, I love looking at my feedback and seeing such positive messages, love when I get handmade letters or gifts in my packages, I've kept them all. If I ever get less than 5 stars and a glowing review it will fuck up my utopian fantasy~

that flimsy bodice.

I don't think it's worth it, I'd do like other people suggested and build a similar coord with brand pieces. Boz and Naoto are great, and there are many more goth J brands that can supply quality accessories.

You're probably right anon. I just like the design a lot and was hoping someone who has actually bought it had some advice. I don't even necessarily want to wear it in a Lolita coord. I just like the dress.
People might think I'm new because I'm asking about a random taobao dress, but I'm not. If you have some specific brand dresses in mind that are like this I would like to see because it doesn't really look like any dress I have seen from those brands.

Only the long cut?

[Anonymous No.10144571]

>>10142607
So I ended up ordering those bloomers.
My thighs are about 15" around and they're weirdly snug, but not uncomfortably so.
The lace is torchon lace. Kinda meh quality but it could be worse. (Or a worse kind of lace).
The material is just a basic, medium thickness cotton seems breathable and durable.
They can reach just above my knees if I pull them down, but if I squat, they go back up mid thigh.
They fit fine around my waist, which is 23". IDK the measurements of the other people who bought them, but I"m assuming bigger (One girl had 32" I think?)
The pockets are still amusing. I have no idea how I can make use of them other than a discrete pocket for emergency money or pads/tampons.
If you're skinny enough to wear them, I'd recommend them for just basic bloomers.
I still prefer my meta ones.

Catalouge anon from last night.
If anyone can help me ID my last three items, Id be grateful. Ill try and be as descriptive as possible. Yes I know theres wrinkles and/or link on my blouses. Theyll be taken care of when I wear them.
First is this blouse. Simple round buttons, shirring in the back, daisy pattern on the collar.
Closest I could find on lolibrary was yoke switching short sleeve blouse. However, this blouse has no spots for corset lacing in the back (that I could find) and has different buttons.
I got it in a pack off LM

>>10144606
Second up is this cutsew. This one I bought directly from meta and maybe 2015 ish? Give or take a year. I couldn't find anything similar on Lolibrary.
The lace on the collar has Meta's twin Swan logo. Faux Diamond buttons and nothing on the back shirring or waist bow wise.

And finally are these shoes. I had to got them off of CC or WW. I'm inclined to say that they are they ribbon strap shoes missing the detachable bows. However, I can't find any stock pictures of this color to be sure. I do have the original box that they came in with the product number. I'm not sure if it's just a generic product number for shoes or not.
The number on the shoebox is 17012001.

Yeah, all the items are meta. Which is why it's kind of frustrating that I can't find a stock photos or item names anywhere. I am inclined to think that it was a blouse in a lucky pack or a special set. Especially with how similar it is to the other one.

They are such an iconic brand but pretty much every single release this year has been a miss for me. None of the upcoming ones look particularly good either. I know change is just the nature of fashion but their old stuff both print and non print was just so full of ideas and feelings and idk. It just truly inspired me.

So I'm an enamel pin maker. What kind of lolita-ish thing do people want? I hear a lot of people always say "do what you like lol". I did that in the other fandom I'm in and it sold really nicely cause I was doing something different. I wasn't pandering to the masses, who I'm sure, already owned like the same character that was chibi and smiling, etc. But that was like a HUGE fandom. We're so small, that it's really either a huge hit or a fucking huge miss. Not much in between. I always order 50 pins, and if I sell 20, I even out. So my little side making gig has been working out pretty well.

>>10145677
Like these are cute. I would get the bunny or lamb or dog myself. Do people want stuff like this? Or more human?

Honestly though the pic doesn't seem that awful of quality. The chiffon at least has good drape and seems to be both sheer but substantial (usually if it's sheer it starts to look like stiff plastic). The net lace on the bodice at least seems halfway decent and the bow looks substantial too.

Designs is godawful and the colours makes me want to bash in the head of both the person who designed this and the person who even okayed it into production. That's not the same thing as quality, though.
