Tips & Warnings
If you plan to see your purses online, take pictures of your purses. Make sure the photos show the unique details, vibrant colors and the name of the designer of the purse (if applicable).
Include as many details as you can about the purse. If the purse is a designer purse, such as a Louis Vuitton purse, then say so. This will eliminate many emails that would otherwise be sent to you requesting details.
Make sure the purses are clean and in good repair.
If you plan to set up an online store, be aware that most charge a monthly fee.
