  5.  
    Research the seller. If you’re looking on an auction site, read the seller’s feedback, make sure they’ve sold wedding gowns before, and make sure that the recipients of those gowns have been happy with their purchases.
  6. 6
    Ensure that the dress will arrive will plenty of time to spare before your wedding.
  7.  
    Look at pictures from the front, back and side. (Keep in mind that the pictures for “new” dresses are probably rip-offs from big wedding gown designers, so don’t expect your dress to be identical)
  8.  
    Ask questions. Is the dress used? Is it made to suit your measurements? Does it require a petticoat to be purchased separately? Can a veil be made to match? Is it white or ivory? What material is it made of? What material is the detailing made of? Does it have a zipper, corset, or buttons to do it up?

    Once you’ve chosen a gown you like, join the auction without going over your budget, or use the “buy now” option if you’re happy with the offered price.
  10.  
    When paying for any big item online, it’s best if you can pay using some kind of safe-trader system. This is where you pay a safe-trader company the price of the item, the company advises the seller that you’ve paid and it’s paid to the seller once the item has been delivered. This is good for peace-of-mind.
  11.  
    As soon as the dress arrives, check for any defects and have these sorted out with the seller ASAP. If the seller does not fix it herself, she may give you a gift or partial refund to cover the cost of having the work done.

Investing in gold jewelry is a wise and well-accepted financial practice around the world, and has been for thousands of years.

      Purchase the jewelry that you've carefully determined to be a good investment. Be sure you are given all proper paperwork for each piece you purchase.

      Tips & Warnings

          *

            It may be wise to visit your local jewelry store to look at and try on something similar to what you want. This will give you an idea of size and other features of fine jewelry.
          *

            Once you've found what you want, take the online price to your local jeweler and see if he or she will give you a similar item at the same price. This can save you shipping and handling costs and the hassle of returning something that you don't like through the mail.
          *

            Remember that no matter how clearly a picture of jewelry appears on your monitor, it's not the same as handling or trying it on before buying. It's especially important to check online sites' guarantees and return policies, which will be extremely important if you are not happy with the item once you see it.
          *

            If you return a piece of jewelry bought online, items often must be returned within a limited amount of time, and you will need to insure the item being returned. While your purchase price may be refunded, insurance, shipping and handling charges are usually not refundable
