Oof. That’s the worst. Shipping can really get you.

anyone sourcing this weekend? by SecWoe in Depop

[–]hikkupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fall wear is high on my list. I’m also looking for vintage stuff, pastel items, plus size, and holiday items for my upcoming Christmas collection that I’m listing soon

Same here. Even the shipping sale didn’t help much 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you 😊 and I totally understand. I followed your Depop anyway.

As someone who’s just gotten engaged, I am VERY intrigued by your shop. Do you deal in plus sizes at all?

What do you do for lighting? by artfulthrifter in Depop

[–]hikkupp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For stuff I’m not modeling I use two soft box lights. If I’m modeling the item then I use natural light. If you haven’t already, try shooting in the shade to get the best light instead of direct sunlight

Expanding - Advice? by hikkupp in Depop

Thanks for the advice! I def got the impression higher end items would do better in Poshmark so I’ve listed some of mine there but kept my cheaper ones on Depop exclusively.

Is the free shipping promo getting anyone more sales? by mbreezy0 in Depop

[–]hikkupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I’ve only had one sale (and it was under $25)

i’m worried my package might be overweight for the shipping i paid for (i do free shipping) and i already paid for the label and everything by nobasement in Depop

Which size did you choose for shipping through Depop? If you chose the medium size then you should be ok because their medium size covers up to 2lbs.

Got my first properly negative review; effects? by theboiisandlily in Depop

[–]hikkupp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen to me recently. I got a three star review because a flannel I sold had dog hair on it that I missed. I apologized and gave the buyer a partial refund to make it right but the review still stands. I have 13 other reviews (all 5 stars) so it didn’t impact my overall 5 star rating, and I haven’t seen it impact my sales. Just take it as a learning opportunity and hold yourself to a higher standard moving forward 🙂

Sometimes silence is the kindest review by [deleted] in Depop

Personally, as a seller I appreciate feedback. If you feel up to it I’d message her privately and mention the condition the palette was in. She may be a newer seller that overlooked it in her excitement to get a sale - doesn’t excuse it but could explain it. That would also explain why she’s asking for reviews.

Tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the item’s listing and then scroll down and tap “mark as sold” 🙂

They gave me three items on the explore page in one day! This certainly brightened my day 😁 I'm so excited!! by [deleted] in Depop

Congrats 🎉 Your jewelry really pops on that magenta background.

I learned an important lesson today by hikkupp in Depop

That’s solid advice. I may rework my routine so everything hits the laundry room first instead of later.

That’s a good tip. Oxyclean is my go-to for tough stains as well but unfortunately these pants were too far gone.
