Is there a way to search or filter in my closet?
Yes. Shoppaholic vSiders have lots of clothes in their closet. Sometimes it's hard to find what you want. Similarly, some stores have so many items that scrolling becomes a pain. Use the Filter option to search for a keyword in the short and long description of the item as well as the category and brand. The closet will only show items that match the filter.
For example:
- filter for: red to only display red items
- filter for a certain vSider's username in vHD to only display his or her items (e.g. eglosh)
I've heard that some items expire. Is this true?
Yes. Certain items like costumes, props, make-ups, and styles don't last forever. You can tell an expiring item by the watch icon in the shopping interface.

Anything else I should know about vBux and vBux-related policies?
Definitely. Make sure you read the vBux section of the
vSide TOU. Specifically, you need to know this:
All purchases of vBux are final. You cannot get your money back if you purchase vBux. If you are under the age of 18 and purchasing vBux using your parent's credit card, by purchasing vBux, you are telling us that you have permission to buy vBux. If you are purchasing vBux by PayPal you are telling us that you are the owner of the PayPal account you are using.
and this:
Any vBux you buy are not refundable and may not be redeemed for cash or funds in your account. Prices do not include sales or use taxes. Any sales or use taxes will be calculated at the time of purchase. Any sale will be governed by the laws of California and San Francisco County. vSide reserves the right to take back vBux or any goods or services exchanged for vBux if we or our card processor determine that you have not paid for such vBux, goods or services or otherwise reverse the charges. vSide reserves the right to suspend, terminate or take other actions relating to your account for your failure to pay for vBux. vBux that you purchase must be used within one year of purchase. Remember, just because you buy vBux does not exempt you from following the TOU. You can still be suspended or banned from the Environment for failing to abide by the TOU. If you get permanently banned, you will lose all your vBux and virtual goods and/or services in the process.
