Why shouldn't
I just sell my wedding items at a garage sale or on an auction site?
There are many reasons why selling your items on BravoBride makes
more sense than using a free listing service or auction site. Here
are some things to consider:
- BravoBride is totally focused on wedding items. Your customers won't
have to wade through listings for washing machines and computer monitors
to find your products.
- BravoBride is visited by exactly the clientele you want to reach—brides
and their families shopping for their wedding.
- Unlike auction sites, where listings are removed after short-term
countdowns, or other sites, where listings can disappear after seven
days, on BravoBride your listings stay live for a full 18 months.
- BravoBride offers a range of features. For example:
--Featured Item Placement
--Advanced Search Capability
--Multiple Photos
--My Favorites Section
--Recommend Iitems to Friends
- View our comparison chart to see how we compare to other sites.

How do I set my prices?
As the seller, you decide what your prices will be. But
here are some guidelines you might find helpful:
- A discontinued style of dress should be priced lower
than designer items still in stores.
- For new items, 15% off the retail price is a good
idea.
- The older the item, the greater the discount. For
a dress that's five years old or older, for example, 60% off
the original retail price would be appropriate.
- For worn items, we recommend a 50% deduction from
the retail price.

How long does it take an
item to sell?
It all depends on the type of item, its condition, your
price, and market demand. But there are some things you can do to make
your items more likely to sell. For example, writing a great description,
submitting more than one photo, and pricing your items competitively
will catch the attention of more buyers.

How do brides hear about
BravoBride?
We actively advertise online and offline within the bridal
and event planning community. As a result BravoBride is quickly
establishing a reputation as one of the best and most user-friendly wedding
sites. That means more buyers for your items.

Can I list items other
than my wedding dress?
Absolutely! You're welcome to list any item that
a bride might need for her wedding. That includes wedding dresses but
also jewelry, accessories, ceremony and reception items, wedding favors
and more.

Do you protect my
email address?
Your privacy is extremely important to us. BravoBride
does not sell or rent your email address to anyone. When buyers contact
you initially, they do so through the BravoBride Web site and never see
your email address (although buyers will see your address when you reply
to them).
Back to top
How do I know if a buyer
is for real?
The vast majority of BravoBride customers are legitimate,
but it pays to be cautious and use common sense when dealing with a buyer.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Don't accept wire transfers, money orders or cashier's
checks. Use only online payment programs such as PayPal, Google
Checkout and Esrow.com.
- Don't accept payment in excess of your purchase price—this
is a huge red flag. View our seller
protection page for more information.
Be on the alert for signs of a scammer:
- The buyer is eager to buy immediately without asking
any questions about the item
- Poor spelling and grammar
- Often have overseas addresses
- The buyer wants to pay via wire transfer, money order
or cashier's check, and use a third party shipper.
Please notify BravoBride if
you encounter any buyers who seem suspicious—do not reply to them
or agree to sell anything to them.
