We know that this purchase is very important to you and we understand that you want to feel confident that you are protected if something goes wrong with the transaction.  Therefore, we recommend that payment is sent using PayPal or Escrow.  PayPal in particular has the PayPal Buyer Protection Program.  With this program, you buy with confidence knowing that PayPal will assist you if there are any issues with the dress you purchased. 

There is a simple checklist--here are a few things you need to do to be eligible for Buyer Protection:

• Pay for your item with PayPal.
• Pay in a single payment.
• Keep your account in good standing.
• Lodge a dispute within 180 days of payment.

  In addition to PayPal's Buyer Protection, consider paying for insurance.  Insurance will ensure that any damage caused during shipment is covered.

It is our hope that sellers will respond to all buyer inquiries within 48 hours.  Regrettably, we have no control over how responsive sellers are.  We do not handle communication between sellers and buyers, but we do recommend waiting a few days if you’re really interested in the item(s) for sale.  Read our Buyer tips to help attract seller’s attention.

Here are a few tips for buying an item on Yesterday's Bride:

• Ask for an estimated shipping time if transaction is online.
• Have a PayPal or Escrow account ready if transaction is online.
• Ask to add insurance when the seller ships the item to you. It’s worth the extra money, especially if you’re buying fragile items.
• Demonstrate you have a serious interest in purchasing the items right from the initial contact.
• If purchasing in person, make sure to meet at a public place and if paying with cash, have the exact amount ready.

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.
