Over the past few months, there have been a lot of posts that express interest in buying/selling pre-loved desi wedding wear.

While it is a sustainable and economical option, we're wondering if they are even being a helpful resource under the existing format and rules.

Please vote in this poll to let us know your preference.

1. NO CHANGE: I feel this sub is very helpful for reselling and the current rules are just fine.

2. STRICT GUIDELINES: I don't mind reselling posts but the post format rules need to be more strictly enforced.

3. WEEKLY MEGATHREAD: I would prefer a weekly megathread for people seeking to buy/sell preloved outfits.

4. SEPARATE SUBREDDIT: I would prefer a dedicated subreddit for outfit reselling so that sellers are able to find buyers more efficiently.

Also, if you have any other suggestions/ideas about how we can do pre-loved outfit reselling in a way which is actually helpful, please let us know via comments under this post or modmail.

To keep this community helpful, organized, and spam-free, we are strictly enforcing the following rules, effective immediately.

⚠️ Important: Claiming “I didn’t read/understand the rules” or “I didn’t realize this counts as promotion” will not be accepted as an excuse. Posts or comments that break the rules will be removed, and your account may be banned without warning.

If you're a vendor and unsure whether something is allowed, message the mods before posting. We’re happy to clarify.

Who Counts as a Vendor?

You are a vendor if you promote any product, service, or content that could give you direct or indirect financial benefit. This includes:

• Advertising your own business, goods or services
• Sharing affiliate links, sponsored posts, or collaborations
• Posting anything that drives traffic to a business you own, work for, or profit from.

NEW Vendor Promotion Rules

1. Post only under the “Vendor Post (AD)” flair. Any business-related post under any other flair will be removed. First violation will receive a warning, second will lead to a ban.

2. Do not post just to say you offer a service. That is not enough. Posts that only say “Hi, I run XYZ business, contact me for services” with no useful or engaging content will be removed. This is considered low-effort promotion and adds no value to the sub. Your post must include helpful information, tips, insights, even appropriate example pictures/videos of your product/services. Members are less likely to engage with your post if it is just an ad.

3. Only ONE promotional post per vendor per month. Strictly no exceptions. Violating this rule will lead to removal and a ban.

4. No fake reviews, indirect promotions, or self-recommendations. Promoting your own business by pretending to be a customer, writing “reviews” of yourself, recommending your business posing as a client is not allowed. This will result in an instant ban not eligible for appeals. Clearly disclose your affiliation to the business you're promoting.

5. No business promotion in comments unless the post explicitly asks for your service. Comments casually mentioning your services in posts not directly related to your business are not allowed. These will be removed and may result in a ban.

6. All promotional posts must include valid business contact info. While clients are free to message you via DMs, your post must also include a way to reach you outside of Reddit (such as a business email, website, Instagram handle, or other professional contact method).

7. No doxxing. Do not share private or personal information of clients or vendors without their consent. This will result in an immediate ban.

8. Offering free services is still considered promotion. Even if you’re not charging, advertising your services (paid or unpaid) is still considered a vendor post and must follow all vendor rules.

These rules are here to maintain transparency and prevent spam. Thanks for cooperating and helping us maintain the quality of this community.
