Guidance Notes to help you create your advert:
Photographs: A maximum of 6 photographs can be used in an advert. Ideally photographs should be sent to Brides of Bath by email (jpegs please) and clearly labelled so that we can easily identify them as yours. If photographs are sent by post and you’d like them returned, please include a stamped addressed envelope.
Description of Item: Give as much information as you can. E.g. Designer, style name and/or brief description of style, size, colour, condition, height to fit, location of seller and sale price.
Sale Price: As a guide we suggest asking no more than 50% of the purchase price for worn items, and 75% for unworn. The price should also reflect the age and condition of the item. Please put ono on your advert if you are willing to take an offer. If the sale item is new/unworn mention if the shop tags are still attached and show them in the photographs if possible.
Safety Guide: We recommend that the buyer should view the sale item in person before any money is exchanged, and that the seller should not to part with a sale item until payment has been received in full and the funds are cleared by their bank. To avoid scams, sellers should also be wary of male purchasers, buyers that offer more than the sale price of the item, or do not have a valid telephone number. Do not give personal bank details to anyone.
