Wardrobe offers and Messages: what happens after someone gets in touch?

On a shared wardrobe piece marked Open to offers, an interested visitor can start an item-specific message request. This is a conversation starter. It does not accept a price on your behalf, take payment or transfer ownership of the garment.

As the owner, open Messages to review requests. A new conversation may need your acceptance before the discussion continues. The initial wardrobe offer request includes the item name and a link back to the wardrobe piece, helping you check which garment the visitor means.

Use the same thread for follow-up questions. For clothing, useful details often include the labelled size, actual measurements, fabric, condition and any alterations. If someone asks for a photograph, make sure it shows the relevant garment without exposing private information in the background.

Notifications depend on your settings. Conversation email alerts follow that conversation’s email setting. Bell and mobile push alerts follow the message-notification controls; device push also needs a registered device and permission. A missing email or push alert does not by itself mean the conversation is empty, so check Messages directly.

The public availability setting matters. Show only — Not for sale is not an invitation to make an offer. You can change an owned piece back to Private through the saved visibility controls if you no longer want it displayed.

Marketplace listings may have their own Make offer controls and buying flow. Follow the controls shown on the actual listing rather than treating a wardrobe message as a completed order. If you decide to list an owned garment, use List for sale and complete the normal editor.
