How To Spot A Timewaster When Selling Your Used Panties!

No one likes their time wasted in any aspect of life and certainly not when it comes to making money.

How Do You Define a Timewaster?

First of all, let's define a timewaster. Everyone has different opinions here. For some people, a timewaster is someone who enquires about an item and doesn't go through with an order. Personally, whilst this is frustrating, it's also a little harsh. For most guys here, it's like being a kid in a candy shop, whether they're a sock sniffer, a panty sniffer or just after an experience to get them off, they're going to be overwhelmed with messages and choice.

You can't blame them for looking around to find the perfect person to fulfil their desires. Some sellers would claim someone is a timewaster when they don't get back to them, but you've got to give a little flexibility. All Things Worn is an international platform, with users on different timezones. This sometimes causes delays in responses. People are also naturally busy people. While ATW is addictive and has become a form of social media in their own right, some people can go days without checking their messages.

With that being said, it's also frustrating when you get a little nibble and get excited about a potential sale and nothing comes of it. It's like these buyers are sensing you're going through a dry spell, get you all excited and then boom, they drop into your inbox.

The Different Types

For me, you've got 2 types here: a timewaster or a ghoster. I consider a timewaster to be someone that is on the site, with no intention of buying. A ghoster is someone that decided not to go ahead with a purchase. We're all guilty of this. Think about when you've tried to buy something online, it could be a new car that you've seen advertised on a marketplace, you message a few people to enquire. But you don't have time to tell everyone that you're not going ahead with a purchase. This doesn't necessarily mean you've wasted their time, you've just got them a little excited that they may sell their car, but you haven't said “yes, I want to take it. I'll be there at 5pm” and just not turn up. That is a timewaster!

So How Can You Spot a Timewaster?

If the first message is trying to take it offsite. “Hey babes, you on KIK?” It's a surefire way of them being a TW. Why do they need to take it offsite when they haven't even enquired about anything you have to offer? How to handle this situation? Either say “I'd rather chat on here', “I don't have KIK”, “I only give my KIK to genuine buyers” or just go straight for the block then they won't have the chance to waste any more of your time.

No Samples

If they ask for a sample, they have no intention of buying, they're just trying to get their rocks off for free. How many other sellers are they messaging for the same thing? These types of buyers are normally just lurkers who just enjoy the eye candy for free (who can blame them?!). “If you give me a sample, I'll definitely buy”. No darling, it's NO PAY NO PLAY. Don't ever fall for this. If you've just given them content for free, why would they spend money when they've just got content for free?!

They Turn The Conversation s**ual Almost Immediately

If this is the case, just say this is a service you normally charge for and give them your prices. If they're a timewaster, they'll soon realise that you're not playing ball and you probably won't hear from them again. If they're genuine then you may just get a sale out of it.

If Sounds Too Good To Be True...

“Hey babes, I seek a loving and caring sugar baby to take care of in return for a generous $500 weekly allowance, contact me on KIK” Wow, who wouldn't like to earn $500 a week for basically doing nothing?! These guys are normally copying and pasting the same message to lots of other sellers. Once you take it to KIK, they normally get you to pay a “release fee”. Just don't even bother opening these messages. They'll soon have their accounts banned by the Admin Team here anyway.

Now you've spotted the timewaster, how do you avoid them?

Make your profile as detailed as possible. That way, buyers won't have to ask any unnecessary questions. Read this blog on how to create an enticing listing. If you're asked what you offer, you can direct them to your profile. You can also list up to 5 images for each listing. If you're listing well-worn shoes, take a picture of them being worn, a pic of the soles, a pic of the inside and then some other angles. If you're selling used panties, buyers like to see pics from different angles including the front and back. Seeing them being worn also adds to the fantasy. If you try to build a picture in the buyers' mind, they shouldn't need to ask for more images, and if they do, just refer them back to the listings.

Always check their reviews

If they've just joined the site, they could genuinely be trying to find their feet, but if they've been on the site for a while and they've got negative reviews, then they're unlikely to change their ways. Likewise, if they've got no reviews, give them the benefit of the doubt. They could be a little shy and unsure of how things work. Buyers, if you're new, read this blog on how to become a trusted & reliable Buyer.

Know your worth

Don't undersell yourself, you're worth more than that! If you're pricing your items too low, you're going to attract a different calibre of buyer and they're more likely to try their luck. Find a price that you're comfortable with and that shows your value. Don't be letting them pretty used thongs be going for $5, you're just going to get people expecting something for nothing.

Be patient

Allow time for someone to get back to you. Some buyers have wives/partners that are unaware or unwilling to support their kinks or fetishes. They may have to wait until their on their own before they can discretely check their inbox.

If you've been caught out by any of these, don't worry, we've all been there!! But you'll soon come up with your own methods of seeking out the timewasters and you'll have more time to spend on those that are genuine. And remember, for all those that are considered timewasters, they are some lovely genuine buyers out there that make this a great community to be a part of.

Remember, NO PLAY BEFORE PAY!!

And always be kind. You could be talking to an experienced buyer of fetish items who is new to ATW and is finding his way around or someone who is completely new to indulging his fetishes and is a bit shy or anxious about exploring this further. Not everyone is a time-waster, it could just be lack of experience. We've all got to start somewhere!

Yorkshiregilf69 I'm new to this and reading this was very insightful, cant wait ti get started thank you

Cyber409 I never initiate a message to someone unless I am planning on buying. A seller's time is valuable and I am not there to waste it. That being said, once I create a relationship I do like to chat a bit, but I am also probably planning on getting more content from them if I do 🥰

KnotyNurse This was great advice!

Curvesintow @LatinaDirtyGirl thank you 💕

LatinaDirtyGirl @curvesintow think you need wayyy more listings… think of this being your own shop. 18 items isnt a lot.

Curvesintow I haven't sold panties in a while 😭

WilliamVIII Just a dmall point for MariaS2... if anyone is talking to you about bitcoin or any other online investment, or forcthat matter just to open a joint account, you can be 99.999% certain the are trying to scam you

LatinaDirtyGirl @marias2 report them

WilliamVIII That last paragraph is me, I have over 100 5* reviews on another site but I'm new here, still finding my feet around this site, so far I've had a fantastic welcome.. thank you

Smellycat59 Another rock star article with great advice. I just love you guys at Admin!!💝

Dumbbjuice Just joined and I'm glad this is the first thing I read! Very insightful! Thank you!

Midwest1081 Thank you!

MISSNaomiTwatts @LatinaDirtyGirl good to know!! Thank you 💕

LatinaDirtyGirl @missnaomitwatts they may tell you its “retaliation “ when its not. If the buyer is able to proof they were scammed or the seller provided awful service. Then the seller deserves that review. Admins have deleted a fake review from me

MISSNaomiTwatts If you block, report and give a bad review to a genuine time waster… can’t they just retaliate and write a negative review for you out of spite? I have talked to the admins about this and they have said that fake reviews won’t be tolerated and will be removed immediately BUT I have also talked to some girls whom have said that, when that happened to them and they messaged the admins, they were told basically “oh well.. you have to know that is a possibility”… does blocking someone stop them from being able to spite review you?

SassySally Thank you for this!!! This explains the KIK!!!

Sofialilyxoxo thanks for this I'm guilty of giving too much away for free! I can't say no sometimes hehe

MILF4U40 Perfect advice, thank you!

Pinkmuff If you put 5 or more pics of an item, aren’t you giving them free pics and then they don’t buy? Is it better to list 1 or 2 pics to get them wanting more?

Rosotto This was very helpful ✌🏼

Admin @Tomsapien Welcome to our community. The blogs are there to help. If you have any queries, drop into our DMs, we'll be happy to help

Tomsapien I am very new to this site. I saw this article and clicked on it. I found it very informative even from a buyers perspective. I realized I had actually done a couple things that could be perceived as Time wasters.. I had no intention of wasting anybody's time I was just kind of digging around learning my way. Love the article thanks for posting

Hotmama1980 thanks for the advise !!

Mistress_Diosa Thank you for great post ❤️

Melanatedbbw thanks for the advice!

Amber_wear Amazing post. Thanks admin team 🙌🏽💕

Admin Yep and we have put updates in place to ban these members in future :)

Luftwaffle Well that sucks, and that also kind of pisses me off. I appreciate the heads up, wish I knew about that before.

LatinaDirtyGirl Particularly lately, lots of shoe sole guys.

Luftwaffle That's a fair point, and one I'll take under consideration. wait, reselling on other sites? lol

LatinaDirtyGirl @luftwaffle you may not be but thats a scammer tactic thats been going around. Men asking for pictures (especially of the soles) to resell in other sites. If you like extra pictures and you are legit buyer, offering the seller a tip$ would make her believe you are legit.

Luftwaffle I think the biggest problem I've ran into historically (I've not bought from anyone here. Yet!) is sellers who refuse to take any additional pictures. And I can completely understand why, it's completely justifiable especially if it appears like I'm just looking for free photos. But, especially for used shoes for example, I absolutely must see the bottom soles before I can make a purchase. It's just too important to me and is literally the biggest factor in whether I want to make that purchase. Yet, even if a seller updates their listing or sends the picture, it just wasn't what I was looking for. This happens at least 50% of the time and I feel bad. At least in my case, I feel that's just the cost of doing business as a seller.

Luftwaffle As a buyer, I will say personally that it's been a challenging experience for me to buy what I'm into, oftentimes it's difficult to fully convey what I'm looking for. I'll admit I've historically been sort of a filthy casual but the blogpost did mention some very good points.

BUCKR2 Hi. I'm a Buyer - I've hit #2 before now but this is a difficult time - and that's one of the reasons I'm posting. I'm in the UK so that's not a great place to be at the moment so I'm not really buying much at all. I'm certainly not buying from Covid 19 Hot Spots! But leaving that aside, I AM what might be described as a Time Waster? I've probably Friended a hundred or so Sellers, Bought from? A dozen? You may well be one of those I didn't but don't be pissed as there's lots of reasons I didn't and there not just because I dont WANT to do business with you. Yes, I love to chat? And probably that's why I'm the biggest time waster! Be patient, but most of all, stay safe - Uncle Buck loves you all! 😘😘😘

Beautifullkink This is great advice

Sarah Sexy Wear Brilliant ATW xx

Cynical Kitten but most importantly, BE PATIENT. you’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar 😉

Cynical Kitten the real take away from this, is BOTH parties should respect each other and realize there are a TON OF OPTIONS. the right buyer/seller will find each other. xx

LatinaDirtyGirl Shudz, Dont take it to the heart. Actual TW don’t last. They are mostly gone in a few days

XelA Cross I try not to be a time waster. However if soneone is rude or not willing to do what I want I will back out of a deal. There is so many really good sellers on here, who have pride in what they do.

Gaz2020v2 I'm sure sellers take ratings into consideration I'm sure this is aimed at new buyers shudz

Bellsonhertoes This is a great article

Peachy_Pollys_Panties Another great blog! Will definitely give people the benefit of the doubt but there definitely are a few time wasters out there !

Katarina’s Closet I love that y’all always post helpful blogs like this! Makes it so much more worth it ❤️

Minatheminx Great advice for all new sellers ❤️

Justpeaxh This is such a good item to read, this should be told to all new sellers!!x

Kittiekat2104 Another great item written xx

LatinaDirtyGirl This article should be part of the intro to selling to all new sellers :) hope they read it ❤️❤️

LatinaDirtyGirl This is great!!! ❤️❤️

DrippingInSweat69 That’s 👏 awesome!

Clara-clit Thanks team it would be great xx

Admin Team Thanks @clara-clit. We are looking at adding push notifications instead of emails as part of our next big update 🙂

Clara-clit Can I just add when we get messages it takes so long for ATW to notify us via email I had one message that took 5 hrs before I got notified only because I was busy and couldn't be permanently logged on here , that said it's not suprising some buyers also get a bit cheesed off when we don't reply x

LittleWonderLust Exactly. Only been here a week but have already been ghosted by someone chatting on kik. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Now I know better!

🌹Marina Majesty🌹 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 YES

Lulovesu 👄 I’ve been really enjoying these blogs well done ATW x

Cynical Kitten @Morish well said hun !

Gaz2020v2 Spot on I always look for the best deal and the sellers on here are amazing
