any tips for knowing which ebay sellers are legit/have better quality when it comes to wigs? I find a lot of sellers using the same photo of a wig so its kinda concerning that I'm probably not even seeing the real wig!
Sheila’s Tips for Wig Buying on Ebay!
-Most mass sellers on Ebay all use the same photos because they are all actually selling the same manufactured wig –MOST. Some do it because their lazy. When looking for sellers, look for one that has pictures of the wig ON A STAND. (A generic model is okay too, but NOT cosplayers) but the biggest key is that they have SEVERAL photos of the wig in different angles. If you scroll down and they have various pictures in the description, thats a good sign!
-Another great tip off is watermarks. If the ebay store has their logo on the photo, and I mean a logo and not like MSpaint type, haha, then its a good sign. -CHECK THE REVIEWS. I can’t stress that enough. Check the reviews, how many do they have? (You want four digit numbers). How many positive reviews (it should be a majority.) -Specifically check the bad reviews. Most have a detail of what went wrong and it gives you an idea of what you could be potentially dealing with. So if all their bad reviews are on the quality, or appearance – thats their main problem. If its all about the shipping time– thats the risk you may have to deal with. Make sure you are ready to deal with the issues others have reported if you are set on that seller. -Return policy!!! Make sure THEY HAVE ONE. Not having one is a BIG NO NO. Most sellers have one, READ IT. Because sometimes they offer exchanges but no refunds. :( And some won’t take it back if the tags are cut, etc etc. -What else do they sell? Do they only sell wigs (this is great!) Wigs and cosplay stuff (good sign!) Wigs and hardware products and house items (hmm… maybe not.) -There are some well known, verified stores with their own pictures, wig only stores with great prices. My favorites are CharissaKids, CosplayAnimeWigs, Cosmonde, WigFashion, and JCPunk-Talk to your seller!! You’d be surprised how quick and nice they can be. Several times I’ve contacted them asking for more pictures in different light or with questions about shipping time (usually they offer me expediated for a higher price, which is handy when your late). I’m always answered. Don’t be afraid to get to know the product before you buy. Especially if you are on a deadline.
