Seller Tips

A good listing answers a bride’s questions before she asks them. These tips help you sell faster – and safely.

Before you start

Have these details ready:

Brand, model and size as on the label
Measurements in centimetres: bust, waist, hips and the length from the hollow of the neck to the hem
Alterations: what was done, and to which size?
Condition: worn or not, cleaned or not, small flaws
What is included, for example a veil or a hoop skirt
What the dress originally cost

Show the whole dress from the front and from the back – the back is often what decides.
Photograph the details: lace, fabric, fastening and the label.
Show alterations and flaws honestly. It saves you questions and trouble after the sale.
Use daylight without flash and skip filters – brides want to see the real dress.
The first photo you upload is your cover image in the overview. Pick your best shot of the whole dress.
Each photo may be up to 8 MB, as JPG, PNG or WebP.

Write the way you would tell a friend about your dress – just complete. This order helps:

Honest details about size and condition prevent most misunderstandings.

Look at similar dresses on Everbride: same brand, similar size, similar condition. Age, cleaning and alterations count too.

If you are open to offers, tick “Negotiation Basis”. If no enquiries come in for a long time, take a second look at price and photos.

Reply promptly and directly in the Everbride chat.
Ask for the buyer’s measurements – you will both see quickly whether the dress can fit.
Offer a fitting if it suits you. You can switch on “Fitting possible” in your profile.
Arrange fittings in daylight, and do not be alone.

Scammers often write in fluent German and sound friendly. Watch for these signs:

Not a single question about measurements or condition – just “Is it still available? What is your lowest price?”
Pressure: everything has to happen very fast.
You are asked to continue by private email, WhatsApp or Telegram.
A courier or a shipping company is to collect the dress, often from abroad.
A payment confirmation by email, a cheque, or more money than you asked for.
A link asking you to “verify” your account or “release” money.

No email proves a payment. Check for the money yourself in your bank account or with your payment provider – and never pay a fee to receive money.

Agree in writing beforehand what applies: price, payment, handover – and what happens if the dress does not fit.
If the buyer collects the dress, you get the money at the handover.
Only ship the dress once the money has really arrived in your account.
Pack it well and send it insured and with tracking. Take photos of the dress and the parcel first.

Delete your listing under “Dresses” in your account. You will stop getting enquiries – and no bride keeps hoping for your dress in vain.
