boxes have durability ratings and lose durability when they are used, so yeah i have gotten damaged boxes from individual sellers who reused a box that was never rated for international travel, but I've never gotten a damaged box from a reputable business.

I always ship my items in a bubble envelope and have never gotten any issues. I've also shipped them in poly mailers with the dress wrapped in bubble wrap. The shoe box and trash bag combo is tragic but it's not really anything to lose her mind over.

I also had something shipped to me from overseas in just an AP bag, and I was livid since it was their Twinkle Star Bag. It did get some damage during shipping but nothing major, thankfully. I don’t know what’s so difficult about shipping something in a sturdy box or even a bubble mailer.

For real. I have had a ton of financial troubles this year (like basically everybody) and I've had to sell off many of my most prized items to keep afloat. I have never once mentioned that in a listing because 1. it's irrelevant 2. I think it's actually a turn off for buyers and 3. I don't want anyone's pity money or anyone up in my business.

Every time shipping comes up I swear half the posters don't seem to understand this.

Shipping bags are reinforced. They're made of different types of plastic that's designed to deform rather than tear, and they often have threads running through to protect as well. Same with actual shipping boxes vs shit like a shoe box. Thicker cardboard with strings in it. Proper companies use actual packing tape, too.

And you can get envelopes and boxes for free or cheap from any shipping or postal service. There's no fucking excuse to use whatever shopping bag is lying around your house, you're just asking for your item to be destroyed.

>Put the item in a plastic bag, ziploc bag, shopping bag, or plastic wrap
>Put that in a proper shipping box/bag
>Tape up any seams with real packing tape or duct tape in a pinch

Most girls I've bought from follow those steps. One time I left negative feedback on a girl who didn't. She skipped the first step and just shipped the dress overseas in a cardboard box. It arrived smashed up with holes gouged into the box, during a fucking storm. Her thank you card got soaked and bled all over the inside of the box, though thankfully didn't wreck anything, but I was pissed.

This is it. Shipping envelopes are designed to be tear-resistant and you can use packaging tape to secure the opening so moisture can't seep in. I would never ship anything in a fucking AP shopping bag.

If you move stuff from your wardrobe often, buy a 20 pack of poly envelopes and it'll last a long time.

THIS. Dear lord. If I wanted to sell my $400 item for $250, I'd have listed it at that price. There's so many of them now, and once I tell them I won't lower the price I legit had a girl as me how much I would want for two of the dresses in the background that weren't even for sale.

I recently had someone on LM ask me about setting up a payment plan when my ToS states that I don't do those.

I also had someone ask me the international shipping price when the post stated I'm not shipping outside my country atm.

ugh and sending me DM's about offers when OBO is not enabled. Most things I don't even get anoyyed at but shit that's literally answered in the listing drives me up the wall. If you're spending that much money on lolita fashion why aren't you reading the posts?

It's finally happened, after way too many secondhand lolita purchases I finally had a truly shitty buying experience. I bought MM's Roslynn OP off of Mercari for 300+ burgerbucks, and after waiting well over a week for the seller to confirm the purchase, and then another week for the seller to think about sending out the dress to my SS, it finally arrived and the stitching on the sleeve is completely falling apart (pic related). It's something my tailor can fix, but at the price point I'd expect the item to not have this kind of undisclosed damage. I'm also pretty sure I have no recourse.

For real, some people's sales listings double as fucking blog posts, it's so awkward. Some small personal detail is fine if unnecessary, e.g., "I'm saving for my wedding/clearing out for a move", but why sperg out about how your cat needs surgery and you need therapy and you just lost your job and you spent your rent money on lolita, etc etc? It just makes me embarrassed for them.

yeah, it's an occupational hazard of using an SS, you basically have to trust that the item will be as described because there's no recourse really. Most SS's won't fight it because their entire business depends on having a good purchase profile and Mercari and such. Since you need an official 80 phone number to set up an account it's non-trivial to set up new ones.

They may not see it as attracting buyers but the more simple ones that don't say urgent or include extraneous info in the listing title are harmless and aren't really turn offs to me. Ones that in the description mention basic stuff like "closet cleaning", "moving", "didn't fit", "need money for x thing (my pet, a wedding, to buy other stuff, etc.)" stated bluntly and don't go on a whole pity party just strike me as people who are maybe just sharing because they feel a normal level of subconscious urge to rationalize or explain the sale.

yeah I don't mind a little blurb about why they're selling, it can even be helpful if they say something like "shoes are too small, I'm a size 9" or "quick sale" to explain a low price. It's when it gets into too much detail about medical or financial problems that it gets weird.

I need to vent. A buyer bought a dress from me in September. I had said no international buyers but she’s on a US military base overseas so it’s technically domestic as it never gets handed over to a foreign postal service and the rates aren’t any higher. I made sure to remind the buyer to update her shipping address. A month goes by and the buyer asks where her dress is despite the fact that I gave her tracking info. I replied that it’s taking awhile because it has to go to japan. No response. I proceed to do a package inquiry to find out where it is and it says it’s been returned to sender. Ask the buyer what’s going on. No response. On a hunch I look up her user name in Instagram and there she is. In fucking Texas. That’s why she stopped responding. Has literally not said one word to me since I mentioned the dress was going international and she realized she fucked up. Not an apology, nothing. Meanwhile my $500 dress is still not returned to me and has been literally around the world because this bitch didn’t update her shipping address.

Damn, a DD of mine finally came up on LM yesterday and after I bought it I realized I didn't update my PayPal address on my profile, so I did so and apparently it made my account unverified again.

I used to follow ichigo chan on insta (they deleted their old one last year and recently popped up again this year) and at one point they posted their bank statement showing they were like -$500 in debt and still bought something from LM.

She found and pestered me on depop this month looking to trade her crusty ass fruits parlor for my pony bags (she was two pony bags or a dress set) despite none of my pony bags being for sale.

Its the same dress. The front jabot thing can be removed from the buttons. I used that photo because it showed the mini sleeves more clearly than the full dress stock photo

That could also be the case but its at the very least stretched out. The mini sleeve OPs cannot be kept on a hanger like that (especially the 2010 and before) because the weight of the skirt will damage the elastic.

The amount of people messaging me asking if they can outright buy my auctions is really annoying. It used to be very rare that this would happen and therefor not bother me, but since the market boom it’s seriously every listing I make now. I had a listing go up for bidding and didn’t get a single bid the first day, but had four low-ball BIN offers, then others with multiple bidders that people are trying to weasel in on and buy like I can even cancel the auction at this point. Just fucking bid like everyone else, you cheapasses.

Some old horror story: years ago I bought my original Honey Cake switching JSK and shelled out 400 bucks for it plus shipping. The seller shipped it quickly, but I suspected a scam when I picked up the package. It was so dang small, I‘d use a box like that to ship two pair of OTKs .I opened it with utmost care, but the dress basically jumped out of the box like a jack-in-the-box. It’s a miracle I didn’t cut into it. Also it was just loosely thrown in a grocery shopping bag, which was no protection at all. I can’t fathom how much force the seller must’ve used to pack that up.

tl;dr please don’t squeeze dresses into ridiculously small boxes.

In the context of LM and the commitment and terms sellers and buyers agree to, YES, I get how you feel, but part of me interprets it as this sort of "I have the most money so I should get whatever I want by paying the most and people who get it cheaper upset me" vibe that some people have.

It's only one as a seller and zero as a buyer, I just didn't wanna specify since they haven't done anything wrong snd I don't want them to feel called out if they browse here, was just asking for advice. I guess it's less concerning than a new account, you're right.

I think at the very least confirming that it's an active account, not necessarily asking for alternate feedback, would be beneficial. Idk if it's happened on LM before but I've had my eBay hacked and someone bought stuff under my name and account that I had to dispute. Confirming that this person is definitely wanting to buy won't hurt.

They sent me a PM asking about shipping to their location so I think they're alright. Fingers crossed it's alright as I really need/want the cash and don't want to have to relist. Plus it will be nice for the dress to go to someone who really wants and can enjoy it as soon as possible.

AP Carnival OP in black/white sold at $500 even in september.

I feel like I'm a broken record but its shit to have to hint like this. On EGL if someone was a shitty buyer/seller or just annoying they would get a getoffegl post with their name in the title. For a small community with this much money involved there should be an easy way to warn others of poor behavior.

Not LM-related, but has anyone here successfully ordered from Luminescentea/applesaladtea? Someone listed some of her wrist cuffs and it reminded me she exists.
I ordered some stuff from her earlier this year and she just... didn't deliver. Messaged her a few times, nothing. There are more reviews saying the same happened to them, too, yet the shop description now has something about a black friday sale lol? I'm still baffled and wondering what happened, back when I ordered she was at least active on insta. Now it's like she dropped off the face of the earth.

Her Etsy says it was opened in 2014 and the sale is the store's 5 year anniversary sale, so the announcement is a year old. She probably stopped posting so people can't flood her comments with questions about their orders.

That's terrible. I remember my first bad Japanese second hand experience was with a MM jsk that came in worse condition than they described.
For some reason they sewed a lopsided black ruffle to the hem, to cover up all the holes on the hem. I had to rip out the stitching and try to not to make it worse. Definitely more cautious about buying now.

Oh god. Here comes the poorfag train. What if I told you it's "normal" for prices of any collectibles to fluctuate drastically over time. Their "value" is whatever price people would bid to own them and most of the items are permanently limited in quantity, so the "wear" portion doesn't factor in.

That’s actually a great sign for the “Lolita industry” you dingbat.

If dresses were like cars and depreciated sharply in value from the moment you bought them, few people would justify buying straight from the brand, and brands would struggle and fail. It’s harder to spend $250-300 on a dress if you know that you can only resell for $125-150. So yeah. Things cost money anon. Get over it.

I get what you're saying and I agree that it's getting ridiculous. I think due to the corona-year, a lot of sellers are also more desperate for money, wether it's because their financial means aren't that stable anymore or because they spend more time online shopping. But I think the root of it is that lolita becomes less of an actual fashion and, like other anons already said, a pure collectors hobby with occassionally playing dress-up instead. And the market changes according to that viewpoint.

A seller's pics of a navy skirt looked black and when i saw they had bought this from another LM seller, i went to see the original listing to get a better look at the item. Only to discover they're upcharging by 33% for an item they bough less than two months ago. The price goes down as it gains previous owners, not up.
No it wasn't sweet either and not a super popular cut.

No anon. No it doesn’t. While delist Chan is annoying once a dress has been used it doesn’t really matter how many have owned it as long as it’s in good condition. Oh and market price shifts still apply. Remember 2 months when damaged milky planet in lavender went for like $800 or something?

I bought a pair of pants that had no discolorations but 2 dead bugs - I washed them and it was fine, but that association and knowledge is always there.

This beret however is 5x worse in bug carcasses and overall staining/damage so I'm not even sure if it's worth trying to save because I'll always know that when I received it, it was covered in stains and dead bugs. You know what I mean?

It's not the SS it's the individual seller - the SS doesn't open and re-package any of the items, they're shipped to you as-is/as it was shipped to them.

All of my other items were fine, and last time too, with the shorts - it's specific items from certain sellers due to improper storage or bug infestation

Anon! I just opened a package two days ago and a beret had three dead bugs on it. I quarantined the entire order in a gasket tote and I'm doing the freeze+thaw+freeze+thaw method to make sure I kill off anything that might be on other garments.

It was from the seller あき / aki on Mercari and my SS was Japonica.

I inspected the most expensive items in the box and I didn't see any other bugs but I figured I could wait a week of containment to make sure there was nothing else. Sorry anons I dont have photos because I figured the SS wouldnt do anything about it anyway.

I have an industrial steamer so everything is also getting steamed. For the beret, I put it in a zip lock bag with water and left it in the microwave until it was boiling, lol.

They looked like larvae or casing for something. I just tried to search google for the right bug but I'm not sure what it was. They are not bed bugs or carpet beetles because I have seen those in person before (bed bugs in a shit hotel and carpet beetles in my friends basement).

I know moths are attracted to natural fibers like the wool in berets so it could be the bugs only went to the beret but if it was a storage issue I would have expected to see more bugs on the items that had been sitting in storage for 6 weeks while I collected purchases.

In any event this can serve as a heads up to others to check packages as they are coming in

In uni I worked in a historical costuming department and we would freeze old garments as they were donated. You want to freeze it for 48 hours to kill the adult bugs, then thaw for 48 hrs at room temperative and then freeze again. The double freeze will kill any eggs/etc because they will not die in the first freeze. They just hibernate until its "springtime" aka the thaw and then you freeze them.

You can probably visually inspect anything cotton/thin but velveteen, wool, shoes, fur, etc can hide things. Sorry to make you worried!

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 4 15:03:49 2020 No.10497854 >>10497837 I'm not sure exactly but it think it was around 25-30F. It was not a special freezer by any means just one of those larger top opening ones. We would thaw at room temp which I would assume is 70-80F depending on the season.

>Didn't even think about this, I regret opening it and trying to salvage it now. Sigh.
Laundry will kill bugs/destroy eggs anony, wisest course of action is to run it on its own in a wash, if that's possible. If you're really cutting your losses and don't care if the beret survives, run it on hot.

it's not their job to and even if there IS something wrong with the item, they don't want to risk bad feedback and get banned even IF the seller is indeed in the wrong. What SS are doing is technically not allowed, so they want to keep the peace.

>>10497830
Yes, nothing else had bugs on it - I hope, I'm starting to doubt myself, but the beret was like, covered in them.

>>10497886
While cute, I only paid like $10 so if I have to toss it it's not a huge loss financially. It just sucks because it's a cute handmade beret.

I didn't know personal shoppers were illegal in Japan. Makes sense that they would want to keep their heads down; don't know how that makes buying the right thing not their job. I wonder how Buyee and other big names avoid getting in trouble.

Like the other anons said, I don't think it's a matter of the SS. I'm the anon you originally quoted and I mostly just buy very old items and some listings that had been sitting on websites for years. I figured the person just had it long in their storage and japanese summers might be full of bugs.

Yeah, I get what you mean. Maybe it will get better after a few wears? Seeing it all washed and clean after a (or more) good handwash(es) might also make you feel a bit more satisfied. Even if it wasn't that expensive, it might be worth a try.

That's actually not true. They are perfectly legal, and use Japanese export law to gain tax benefits. The issue is that they are against the terms of service of many resale websites, which is why you've got official ones like Buyee on Mercari, and unofficial ones that have to operate under the radar, and generally won't c the boat if anything goes wrong with your order.

A couple years ago I bought a coat with undisclosed damages so I filed a claim for the cost and sold the coat for only the shipping price I paid, about 50 bucks. I saw the coat up again on egl for 250 dollars a month ago, and I think it sold. Such a scummy thing to do.
