Observation as a buyer: sellers, take a few minutes fixing small defects before submitting your clothes

I know Sellpy is mainly a place to get rid of things you otherwise would have given away for free, but wanted to share this anyway as a buyer. I noticed that a lot of items that were marked as having defects are actually in excellent condition, with stupid little “faults” such as a thread pull on the inside, a tiny stain that comes off with soap within a few seconds, or a strand of hair that clearly isn’t an issue at all. I’m guessing that if you fix these trivial faults yourself, they might be rated and priced higher. I feel like a grifter sometimes getting an item that on receipt looks pretty much brand new, but was marked down to “good” because of some thread I didn’t even notice.
