How best to list?

I was arm twisted into bidding in a charity auction for a jacket worn by Amanda Barrie as Alma Baldwin ( long story!)
I don't want it and it didn't raise as much as hoped so I plan to list it on Ebay for the benefit of the charity.
I will list it as Corrie/ Carry On films/ Amanda Barrie memorabilia to try and get as much interest as possible. The provenance is excellent; it has a letter from Granada and a certificate of authenticity from them. It is also umistakeably "Almaish" in style!
The problem is that there are some marks on the jacket and it is rather crumpled. If I was selling it as clothing I'd get it cleaned before listing but I don't want to do that if it will destroy its value to a Barrie fan.
Obviously I would want to point out the stains as I don't want anyone to think it is pristine - they are actually fairly small and the jacket would be wearable without cleaning .However if I sell it "as is" do I risk the listing being pulled under Ebay cleaning rules?

hi there
I'm pretty sure that as long as you point out the marks on the jacket in the lsiting and describe it honestly then you will be fine.
The 'cleaning' rules , to the best of my knowledge, apply really to 'fetish' type items , such as shoes lingerie and s*xy clothing0
