Here are a few tips for buying an item on Yesterday's Bride:
Great news…there is no commission fee!
Ask how the seller will package the item for you, and have a mutual agreement that the item you’re buying will be properly packaged. Also, you can always look for a local seller for pick up/drop off. By looking for your City and State when searching listings, you will be able to determine the proximity and if pick up/drop off is an option.
Ask the seller to ship the item with tracking information – tracking allows you to monitor the package as it is in transit and ultimately verify the shipment from the seller. We also recommend keeping records of your correspondence with sellers, and that payment is sent using PayPal or Escrow. Both companies work with dispute resolution. In addition, consider paying for insurance. Insurance will ensure that any damage caused during shipment is covered. We do not manage any transactions at Yesterday’s Bride. Transactions are strictly between buyer and seller.
If items are breakable and you’re not sure that you can package the item(s) properly, you may want to visit a shipping store where they can properly pack the item(s) for you so that there is no breakage during shipment. In addition, consider paying for insurance. Insurance will ensure that any potential damage caused during shipment is covered.
As an alternative, you can always request in the description of your item that you prefer a local buyer for pick up/drop off. By entering your City and State when drafting your listing, buyers will be able to determine your proximity and if pick up/drop off is an option.

Clarify what type of shipping the buyer prefers and if the buyer wants to pay for insurance. Once you have obtained the total shipping costs based on the buyer’s shipping address, request payment for the total amount (item price + shipping costs) via PayPal or Escrow. It is recommended that items are shipped only once final payment has been received. Also, ensure that items are shipped with tracking information so you can confirm that the buyer did in fact receive the item. We suggest providing the tracking information to the buyer so that they can track the item as well.

We also have subscriptions for those individuals that want to list multiple wedding dresses. Click here to find out more details about our prices for individual listings and subscriptions.
In addition, if you want to enhance your listing by adding a background, border, bold print, etc. there is a nominal fee to do so. But please note, this is not required as the listing can be posted without adding these additional enhancements.
