How to Navigate Seller Profiles as a Buyer
Being a newer Fetish Buyer particularly interested in worn items, I’ve reviewed so many different seller profiles and wanted to get some insight from other sellers and buyers on how they navigate through seller/buyer profiles.
I wanted to preface by saying this is just a discussion hoping to exchange information/ideas with both sellers and buyers to help each other benefit.
In my Fetish buying journey I’ve subscribed to many different subreddits and enjoy viewing all different kinds of sellers. But, I’ve noticed quite a lot of differences between them and how to interpret them.
Some examples of seller profiles below with some questions.
Seller profiles that have a large amount of Karma, say 3.5 million in a little more than 1 year or so as well as large amounts of contributions say around 47k in that same 1 year or so. Is the 3.5 million Karma within over a year possible? Or, is this their full time job and have the time do so?
Seller profiles that states in their comments that they only respond within those OF site. So, they are posting their profiles on Reddit to help promote their OF site? And in order to communicate with the seller is only by signing up to their OF site?
Sellers who have large gaps of posting to their profile, say 45 days was their last post but are active in the comments section. Is this reliable for buying purposes? That they just don’t post frequently?
Reddit offers Curator Profile to turn on/off content and activity. From reading Reddits reason is to help promote privacy. But, if a seller profile has it turned “off”. Should this be a red flag. Same goes with Buyer profiles I guess too?
I’ve seen a lot of seller profiles that have gorgeous high resolution pics and redgifs and while I understand not every seller is going to have that high level per se, but then see seller profiles that seem to have been taken very quickly? Not very sharp pics or resolution. Some sellers I’ve even seen some pics posted that were actually blurry. As a buyer, while visual images and redgifs are not the only thing, it does help with the initial view of the profiles.
Is there a middle ground or medium position here?
Regarding sellers OF sites. I’ve noticed sellers saying they don’t use ad agencies, that they reply/respond to every message. Is this possible with say the initial seller that I noted that with 3.5 million Karma. By signing up to their OF site, how can I tell they are personally responding to my message?
Again. Just a discussion with sellers and buyers to navigate through all of these wonderful sellers… and yes, some not so good (can be said about buyers as well) in the Fetish Buying Community.
