Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

Setting Up Your feimso Account

Can I browse and check out if I don’t have an account?

For Beta Testing, only the feimso App is available. A user must have an account to be able to access feimso during this time. 

When the feimso website integration is live in the near future, you will be able to access the Marketplace via the website portal to browse Items and Experiences, and check out without an account. If you wish to list items or experiences for sale, you are required to have a feimso account.

Username or Password isn’t recognised

Occasionally we can experience bugs with our App and software. These are usually rectified promptly. After moving through the checklist below, if your credentials are still not accepted, please contact our Customer Service through the option at the bottom of the FAQs Main Menu Page

 

Password Checklist:

   - Check that your email is correct

   - Check that your password has been entered correctly and that your phone hasn’t
      automatically started with a capital letter.

   - Try resetting your password.

 

Username Checklist:

   - Usernames are unique and can only be used by one account. If your username is
      unavailable you may have to select another.

   - Symbols are not accepted as part of usernames, only underscores, hyphens, full stops and
      letters.

   - Once you have changed your username, you cannot change it again for 30 days.

   - If your username selected is the legal name of a brand, if the brand elects to open a feimso
      account, they will have the right to be assigned the relevant username and you may be
      requested to select another. 

Resetting your password

If you can't get into your account, clicking I forgot my password underneath the login section will allow you to enter the email address attached to your account which we'll then send a link for you to reset your password to that email address.

Keeping your credentials safe

We recommend that you keep all passwords somewhere private and safe. Your feimso account can hold your sensitive information like your address. Whilst we tokenise sensitive information, a compromised account can still give someone access to make purchases through it. If you believe someone has accessed your account without your authorisation (hacked your account), please email support@feimso.com immediately.

Why does feimso need my Date of Birth?

The safety and security of our users is very important to us. We make sure that anyone signing up for a feimso account is at least 18 years of age - the minimum age required to buy and sell on feimso.

What if I need to change my date of birth?

Your date of birth is requested at the time of signing up. If you've made a mistake and need to change your date of birth, you will need to contact us by email at support@feimso.com with a valid ID to verify your date of birth.

Who can see my date of birth?

Your date of birth is not visible to other users.

Why does feimso need my date of birth?

We'll use your date of birth to confirm you're old enough to use feimso. Feel free to view our Privacy Policy to know more about how we access and use your information.

How do I edit my account details?

On any screen in the feimso App, there is a small hamburger menu (three vertical dots) in the top right hand corner next to the notification bell icon. Clicking this icon will allow you to change and update:

   - Addresses

   - Payment Methods including Card Details and your Bank Account for feimso to pay money to
      you made through the App.

   - Email settings to adjust what you will receive email notifications for from the feimso App.

   - Your feimso security settings for A Private Account or Lookbook.

Do I have to pay tax on my feimso earnings?

If you are selling on feimso, renting out items, or listing experiences for people to book on a regular basis with the idea to make a profit, you likely need to pay tax. It's important that you contact your local tax office to get up to date on the information about any taxes that you may need to pay. If you are a business, or a sole trader, even if you are not registered for GST, you will need to pay tax for business conducted on the feimso platform.

Username Availability

   - Usernames are unique and can only be used by one account. If your username is
      unavailable you may have to select another.

   - Symbols are not accepted as part of usernames, only underscores, hyphens, full stops and
      letters.

   - Once you have changed your username, you cannot change it again for 30 days.

      account, they will have the right to be assigned the relevant username and you may be

Lookbook

Your Lookbook is the space where you can post your fashion-related content, inspiration, or anything really - it's your glossy magazine if you're a business, a place for your customers to get a feel for your brand and socialise with others. Your Lookbook posts will appear to all new users if you have a public profile in the 'feimso Faves' feed for others to browse and find people to follow.

Managing Your Digital Content

It's important that feimso stays a safe space for all users. This means that feimso reserves the right to remove anything that might bully, marginalise, belittle, or discriminate against other users or promote concepts or ideals that could be harmful.

My Shop – Selling & Renting

 

Is selling on feimso free?

Selling on feimso is free for the first year for the first 10,000 users, no matter if you're an individual or business. 

Individual Accounts

A feimso Individual account is for anyone who needs to clean out their wardrobe and sell or rent their fashion online to give it a new lease on life, browse, shop or rent outfits for events and lifestyle. Anyone can open an individual account that isn't a business.

Business Accounts

How do you know if you're a business? We consider anyone who is a Sole Trader, Registered Business or Company, and anyone selling items regularly with the intention to make a profit, a business. A business account is required to pay tax and will be charged a monthly Membership fee in the near future. Every country is different. If you are a sole-trader or just starting out, you may wish to start with an Individual account first. This does not mean however that you don't have to pay tax. Please visit www.ird.govt.nz for more information on when and if you need to pay tax.
