ABOUT:

Welcome to

perfect_twenty. This is a community for plus-sized women to buy/sell/trade plus-sized clothing and shoes - the specific "yes and no's" are outlined in the rules section. Membership is by approval only - you need to be female to join, but you don't need to be plus-sized (i.e. you may have lost weight and want to sell clothes that are appropriate to this community, etc). This is primarily a UK-based community - you can join if you don't live in the UK, but you must be willing to "ship"/post to the UK.

The feedback tally chart can be found here.

RULES:

Where do we start?

You *must* join pt_feedback before applying for membership to this community *and* read the rules below.

pt_feedback, as it states in the name, is a feedback community. This is where you can record what transactions you have going on at the moment, what you've sent and received, and where you can leave (hopefully positive) feedback for users that have sent you an item or payment. More information and a "how-to" guide can be found within the userinfo page of

pt_feedback (which is here).

The following rule was implemented on 15th April 2006 - only one 300 x 300 pixel image is allowed outside of a LJ cut. You may have more than one image, providing that the total area of these images is not larger than 300 x 300 pixels. There are no specifications for images within a LJ cut, but please bear in mind that large images take a long time to load on slow connections and overly large images are difficult to view.

So, what exactly can I sell here?

We allow the sale of clothing from a size 18 (UK) upwards - we have chosen this size as it is the clothing size that most stores end at, and also that most plus-sized stores start at. We also allow the sale of shoes of any size, so long as they are wide fitting.

Right, okay - what *can't* I sell here?

Any clothing smaller than a size 18 (UK) and shoes that aren't wide fitting . Also, anything that does not fit into either of these catagories is strictly prohibited - i.e. CD's, books, jewellery, etc. Remember that this community is primarily for plus-sized clothing, not "bric-a-brac" - save those for general communities like

thriftstoreuk and

niceboots, etc.

How often can I post, and is it okay to post eBay links here?

You can post as often as you like, but you can only *repost* once a week - i.e. if you post about a blue dress on Monday, you can't post about that same blue dress again until the following Monday. Reposts must be clearly marked with the word "repost" - either in the subject or the post itself. eBay links are allowed, but must be clearly labelled (i.e. the word "eBay" somewhere in the post). You may only post one eBay link a week (i.e. Monday to following Monday), regardless of whether or not it is the same item.

Anything else?

You *must* obtain proof of postage when sending items. This will mean that you will need to go to the post office and ask for it (or fill out a proof of postage slip and take it to the post office). This is proof to the buyer that you have posted the item, and also entitles you to compensation so that neither you or the buyer will be "out of pocket" if an item should happen to get lost. If you are sending something of high value it is highly recommended that you pay for extra insurance and/or send via recorded/special delivery.
