Feature suggestion: Adding images in private messages

Yo Doc,

I had the case numerous times, that I wanted to send a user an image, maybe of a package ready to send, of a clothing brand tag, of a shirt in general or simply just for shit chatting.
Can this be done relatively easy or is it much of a hassle?
Would really appreciate such a feature

Cheers

I second this. Sending mesurments would be helpful without clogging the shirt's page.

Let alone, being able to help somebody who's looking for something specific.

I'm personally against this tbh. Tss already lets everyone, not just one person who asks, see shirt tags/fine details/stamps/defects/ect in the entry. I found this helpful years before I had an account here, and there are folks who don't have accounts that can still check things like that if needed. Folks should have photos of stuff like that ready to go when they make an entry, it shouldn't be an afterthought imo

My friends on other apps send gifs/reaction images/stickers ect all the time when shooting the shit, and that's cool ofc, but the folks I only know through tss are expected to write and talk just with text. I find it to be a nice break from other sites honestly, gives tss its own mood compared to everything else

Agreed, see my comment below

The problem is you all forget that TSS is not a trading platform primarily.

It is a platform for recording photos of t-shirt artwork for future generations.

You should be adding those photos to the post of the t-shirt

Additionally, this would result in people just sending photos of tshirts in private messages and never adding them to the public gallery

This is NOT Facebook.

I have seen one workaround for this, is that images in private messages are always extremely low quality/small

I do not exactly see how this takes anything away from the initial intention of the site, and I especially do not see how a feature can force you to use it. If you do not want to use it in your messages: Don't.

My main intention was not shit chatting or sending of Shirt pictures, but mostly photos of a package that is ready to send, just to prove to a skeptical user, that the item is ready to send. It would be especially helpful for users with no trade reviews yet.
