The 3 Mistakes I Made when I Started Selling My Panties! 

Hi guys, it’s Mimi here. Have we all managed to survive the longest January on record? Wasn’t that fun?

So, I’ve got a little list of some dos and don’ts, mainly for new sellers. So hi ladies, hope you’re all good! There’s a couple of mistakes that I would say that I encountered when I first started, that I wish I’d had a little more information on. Just some little tips, really.

1- Don't Tolerate Rudeness.

I would say the first mistake I made was tolerating rudeness. I’m always really polite, really personable and chatty and respectful with people. So expect that back! With some people, that’s not going to be an issue for you. If you’re just looking at it as a direct transaction and you don’t care if people are blunt and what have you, that’s fine.

But I’m a lady and I like to be treated like a lady. I’m respectful to people, to buyers, to other girls on the site, so I expect that back in return. 

If someone had been rude to me in the beginning, I would tolerate it because I thought "Oh well I don’t want to miss out on a sale". But now I just think no there’s no need, there’s plenty of people who can purchase from me, so it’s not a problem. I wouldn’t tolerate rudeness, so you shouldn’t either.

2- Say No to Timewasters.

And also: timewasters. Don’t tolerate timewasters. There are some people on these sites that use them for ways to talk to people, which is fine. But we are all aware it’s a transaction. You wouldn’t go onto Ebay or Amazon and expect to have back and forth, back and forth conversations with the purchasers and sellers.

So I think, whilst obviously it’s nice to have a bit of a chat, don’t make the mistake of allowing your time to be wasted. Because you’re on the site for a reason, you’re trying to make money, and whilst we can enjoy our job - which is great, it’s a fun way to make money - you still need to make sure you are making money and not just wasting your time just chatting with people that aren’t actually going to get you anywhere.

And there’s plenty of people who also want to have a chat with you, but would like to fund your lifestyle.

3- Only Wear an Item when You Have Been Paid for It.

So, another thing I would say is don’t start wearing items until they’ve been paid for. That’s also a mistake I made in the beginning. I was very eager to please, to my own detriment. So I would allow people to be slightly rude, I would allow people to waste my time, and I would also start wearing items before they’d been paid for.

So, you end up where occasionally the item then doesn’t get paid for, people might change their mind, or they were wasting your time, or they just got a kick out of having somebody wear an item for them that they had no intention of purchasing. 

So, the best advice I would give is as soon as you’ve had your Paypal or whatever payment method you’re using, when that money’s in, then start wearing the item.

I made the mistake of starting to wear an item, perhaps even sending a photograph of myself in the item as evidence to the purchaser that I had worn it, and then it basically put me behind when it came to me wanting to wear other items for other people. I would have a little queue building up of items where someone might want them worn for a week or something and I was, therefore, wasting my time on wearing items that hadn’t been paid for. 

So, those are probably my three top tips of mistakes that I made when I was a new seller, that I would hope that you don’t make. I hope that’s been useful, have a good day guys. See you! Bye.
