Application Process:

Step 1

This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to let us know you are interested in joining Panty Trust. Panty Trust will respond within 48hrs and ask you to fill in a short questionnaire which will be assessed by Panty Trust Volunteers. We always respond within 48hrs, if you do not see an email from us within 48hrs please check your junk or spam folder.

The information that is asked on the questionnaire is exactly what you see on any Panty Trust member's page on the Panty Trust website - your selling username, age, description, shipping/payment terms, where you sell, etc. 
The questionnaire does not request, and Panty Trust never has and never will ask for, your personal information such as name, address, etc. Due to the inherently insecure nature of the internet, personal information such as this should never be sent on the web unless requested through a secure and encrypted form.

Step 2

Get at least an 8.5" x 11" sheet of white paper or poster board. Hand letter the words "Your Name - Panty Trust Verified" in heavy black ink or other dark color. A wide magic marker is ideal, but lipstick, crayon, etc. is suitable.

Select an item that you would like to send for validation.

This can be a bra, panties, stockings, etc. Put the item on, hold up the sign if you are using one, and take one or more photos. Remember, this is going to be your verification photo, and it might need to be re-sized. Please make sure that it is as clear as possible. You don't need a fancy camera, but make sure you have good lighting and focus.

The ideal light to use is natural daylight. If you can, open your shades and let in as much light as possible while you take the photo. Some sellers hide their face, some choose not to. This is your decision and will not have any effect upon verification. However, if you aren't shy, including your face is always preferred. 

Email in your assessment forum and verification photos.

Step 3

If your application is successful, a volunteer will email you the address on where to send your validation item (based on your country of residence), and may ask you for further information that must be completed so that we can set up your membership, and build your Panty Trust page.

We suggest that your item be something that is not expensive or that has sentimental value. If you do send an item that you want returned, you must include an return self-addressed envelope and appropriate postage so that we can return it to you.

You are sending your item to a Panty Trust Member who has volunteered to accept items for verification in their part of the world, she will simply verifies that the item you send matches the item in your photo and she has no interest in how 'used and messy' the item is. Please feel free to wash the item before posting it.

Please do not send an item that is expensive, "extra worn", wrapped very prettily, etc. You get no extra points for this and it might not even be noticed so Panty Trust does not want you to spend the extra time or money on this.

When we have validated your photos and item together, Panty Trust will request the full membership payment.

Once received, we will send you a welcome email that will include all of the information required to access the members' area, photo hosting and the url to your own verified page and manager. Most importantly, you will also be provided with personal technical support, your personalized verification seal/logo with instructions for posting it in any of your auctions, on your web site, in your email footer, etc.

With much input from panty buyers and panties sellers, we have developed a unique, but simple verification process. We believe that our process is the quickest, the best and most useful in the panty industry and should take no longer then 5 days.  If you cannot commit to completing this process in 5 days, please do not apply until you can.
 

IMPORTANT - When an application is declined 

Panty Trust will decline membership to applicants who don't adhere to the Code of Conduct therefor we urge applicants to read and understand our Code of Conduct before they submit an application.

Panty Trust Assessment Team will use the username, email address, and your blog/website, sales sites information that you provide to us to research if there is any sales history, and Panty Trust may contact you if something needs more clarification. Every member of Panty Trust has had this check before joining. It is nothing personal. 

A fundamental part of Panty Trust and our pledge to panty buyers is that the buyer can be sure that the Panty Trust membership has prescreened all members and verified that they meet all aspects of the Panty Trust Code of Conduct prior to them becoming a member of Panty Trust. 

As a member/owner of Panty Trust, you will appreciate that new members who follow you will also be screened to avoid a member whose sales or business practices would lessen Panty Trust's reputation and therefore lessen the value of your membership. Due to the nature of the Panty Trust organization, most the sellers who apply for membership in Panty Trust have no issues.

If Panty Trust finds an issue during a member's application, Panty Trust will explain the concern and help the prospective member to rectify the situation so that the members of Panty Trust can be confident in the recommending the new member.

In same cases, Panty Trust will decline an application and invite the seller to reapply in 3 months, however, if Panty Trust feels that the applicant motivations for wanting to become an owner are purely for financial gain, Panty Trust will decline the application with no appeal.

If you would find yourself to be offended by Panty Trust reviewing your business and sales history before approving your membership, Panty Trust is not a good fit for you.
