FAQ
Fast answers before ordering.
Is preorder safer than in-stock?
Neither is automatically safer. Preorder needs clear studio terms; in-stock needs current seller proof and item condition checks.
What is a BJD deposit listing?
A deposit listing usually collects only the first payment. The final balance, freight, and shipping still need to be quoted.
Can CMDOLL manage preorder balance reminders?
CMDOLL can record the source terms and quote path, but buyer approval is still needed before each payment step.
