How to add and manage inventory.
Log in to your seller dashboard, go to Products, choose Add New Product and enter the required details such as title, images, description, category, tags, price, rental settings, stock and product attributes.
A good listing should include product name, clear images, category, size or measurements, condition, rental price or sale price, stock quantity, description, tags and any relevant product attributes.
Upload clear, well-lit product images. Recommended images include front view, back view, close-up details, label or brand image if available, and model or mannequin photos where possible.
Yes, you can edit product details from your seller dashboard. Some major changes may require review before they appear live on connected platforms.
Your product may be pending approval, missing required information, out of stock, unpublished, or not yet synced to the correct platform. If the issue continues, contact support with your product name or SKU.
Rental pricing, deposits, dates and returns.
Yes. Seller Central is designed to support rental inventory for CostumePeti and selected Vault channels. Products can be configured for rental, sale or both depending on category and approval.

A security deposit helps protect the seller and platform in case of damage, loss, late return or misuse. Deposit handling depends on the rental policy and order condition after return.
Yes, certain rental products may include a cleaning or maintenance fee. This helps cover post-rental cleaning, steaming, sanitizing or garment care.
Availability and blackout dates may be managed depending on the rental configuration. This is useful when an item is already rented, reserved, under repair or unavailable.
Late returns may attract additional charges based on platform rules. Sellers should report late returns or fulfillment issues immediately so the order can be reviewed.
Selling products outright through Vault channels.
Yes. Depending on your product type and approval, products can be listed for sale on eligible channels such as Vault.Fashion or Vault.Wedding.
Yes, some products may be configured for both rental and sale. Inventory availability must be managed carefully so the same item is not overbooked or oversold.
Sale price should reflect product condition, brand, replacement value, demand, age, rarity and market value. Premium costumes, designer pieces, wedding wear and accessories should be priced carefully.
Yes, sellers can update pricing from the dashboard. Some pricing changes may require review depending on platform settings.
CostumePeti + Vault network visibility.
Approved products may appear on CostumePeti.com for rentals, Vault.Fashion for sales, Vault.Wedding for wedding-related rentals and sales, and future Vault network sites depending on category and configuration.

Channel visibility depends on product type, seller setup, category and approval rules. Some products may be best suited for rentals, some for sales, and some for both.
Inventory sync is designed to keep stock, pricing and availability consistent across connected platforms. If you notice a mismatch, contact support with product details.
Managing orders, pickup, delivery and returns.
Orders can be viewed inside your seller dashboard. Depending on settings, you may also receive email notifications or platform communication.
Fulfillment may be seller-managed, platform-managed or warehouse-managed depending on the product, seller setup and location. The order instructions should be followed carefully.
Check the product condition, take photos if required, confirm accessories, pack securely, include required notes and follow pickup or shipping instructions.
Inform support immediately. Delayed or unfulfilled orders affect customer experience and may impact seller performance.
Seller earnings, commissions and settlement.
Seller payouts are processed to the registered payout method after order completion, return verification and applicable deductions, if any.

Payout timing depends on platform policy, order type, return status, refund window and damage verification. Rental payouts may be released after the item is returned and checked.
Refunds, cancellations and return deductions are handled according to the platform policy. Any applicable adjustment may reflect in your seller balance.
Condition checks, repair costs and disputes.
The item condition is reviewed after return. Damage evidence may be collected through photos, notes or inspection. Eligible repair or replacement costs may be adjusted against the security deposit based on policy.
Yes. Sellers should be informed when damage is reported or identified, along with available evidence and next steps.
If repair cost exceeds the collected deposit, an additional recovery or dispute process may be started according to platform policy.
Repair handling depends on the seller agreement, product type and fulfillment model. It may be handled by the seller, platform, warehouse team or an approved repair partner.
Future-ready storage and tracking.
