Setting a Budget Before You Browse

Browsing KinkMarket is meant to be fun. With so many sellers and so many listings, though, it is easy to add a little here and a little there and end the month having spent more than you planned. A simple budget set before you start keeps the fun in it.

Decide on a monthly amount

Pick a figure you are comfortable with and would not miss. Treat it as your spending for the month, and stop when it is used up. Next month starts fresh.

Remember the extras

The listing price is not always the full cost. Postage, custom requests and any add ons you choose all count. Include them when you check whether an order fits your budget.

Use your saved list

When something catches your eye, save it rather than buying straight away. Looking back over your saved items later makes it easier to choose the ones you still want.

Plan for the special pieces

If there is a custom piece or a favourite seller you want to order from, set a little aside each month. Saving towards something you really want feels better than an impulse order.

Be honest with yourself

If you notice you are spending more than you meant to, take a short break. The sellers you like will still be here when you come back.

Enjoy what you choose

A budget means every order is one you decided on. That makes each parcel more enjoyable when it arrives.
