I still got a scam email with my listing on POWD. I think they’re unavoidable, but at least you are vigilant about watching out for it!

You can still sell the dress on craigslist. Just don’t give any identifying information and be aware of scams
Accept payment only in cash or by Paypal and never meet anyone alone.
I never let anyone into our apartment- I meet them elsewhere- in a crowded place like the mall.

Yikes! All of those websites charge money to post your wedding dress, and THEN you may even get scammed. You’d think there’d be some fool-proof way for this to be done… I guess I’ll just hold out in the hopes that some Bee will find my classified and be an actual, non-spammy person. 🙂
After posting this I was perusing the boards and found SO many scams about sale of wedding dresses… sheesh! Watch your backs, ladies, this is a war zone!

Yeah, that’s the #1 most common scam on Craigslist.
Be careful out there ladies!

Last time I posted on OnceWed it was free… has that changed? POWD does charge a fee, but so does paypal. I had two dresses listed on both, and both times, my dresses sold through POWD. Not trying to push it or anything, but it was definitely worth the $25.00, and you can just price your dress accordingly to absorb the cost.
