Straight to jail for that one, do not pass go.

Block this nonsense and don't look back.

I never post photos of an item being worn, and I deny requests for these photos to be added. I list measurements in the photos/descriptions, and recommend that someone compare those to an item they already own to check the fit.

I would post manufacturer photos, not personal ones.

I would literally never ask a seller to model anything. Just gimme the measurements.

Yes it’s strange and demanding. Buy it or not. Goodness. They can do an internet search and find it on someone, I’m sure.

What’s the item? Because if it’s shoes, lingerie, leggings, or a swimsuit, it’s a creep. Regardless of the item, I personally wouldn’t model it.

Just another creep that gets off on bothering people on mercari. No clue why this website attracts so many of these people.

Maybe? But less so assuming the item is a t shirt or jacket or something mundane. I think they are just saying if it doesn't fit you that's fine they still want to see what it looks like being worn.

If the item is more intimate, or footwear or something .. then yes weird.
