Selling stinky clothes on ebay?

I've just sold loads of clothes on eBay and I've spent the last 2 hours checking everything and packing it all up. It's all clean as I washed it before listing, but I get paranoid! I would be horrified if I received dirty clothes so would never send them out myself.

Although I don't iron before sending... probably because I don't iron any clothes anyway. I am anti-ironing!

Hmm, I just bought a Panda off ebay, I think you'd like it . . .

I always wash and iron the kids clothes I sell before sending out. I'm a bad person as I smoke (don't shout at me:D ) so I box them up straight away with a bounce tumble dryer sheet inside. I have feedback about how nice things smell when they arrive.
When ironing the last lot of designer stuff of my daughters that I sold I found a mark on one of the dresses so I stuck a pair of designer jeans in the box with an apology.
All the clothes I have ever bought have been fine when they arrived, I'd be fumming if I had sick or blood stains yuck!

I sell underwear, used, as stated but clean - I always state that - but I have been asked if I can sell it unwashed.

I sell new underwear but one customer asked if I could wear a thong he bought before I sent it..... I was like, er, no, sorry, I only sell them new.

I had an item that had a very suspisious white stain on it............went straight in the wash! But on a very regular basis I've had items stinking of smoke, even when the listing states 'from a smoke-free home'. I guess what others think is clean is often different to our clean!

Euww it all sounds gross!! I had one bad experience buying a top for my DD from Ebay which arrived smelling of smoke. I washed it and it was fine and (under the old feedback system when they allowed tit-for-tat comments) I left a Neutral with a comment that the top smelled. The scarily swift (literally within nano-seconds!) response from the seller was a NEG and a rude comment calling me dishonest plus an email with a stream of abuse that made me blush. I left another comment in feedback for her saying that I had only left a Neutral and that she was lucky not to get a Neg, which prompted yet another abusive comment from her. At that point I retired from the debate in dignified silence ......

After that if I've ever been unhappy with any item I've purchased I've just dropped an email to the seller and not bothered with feedback. One nice seller even gave me a full refund without asking for the item back.

All I can say is that there are some very bizarre people out there :cool: .... and they all use Ebay!!
