Oh dear! Well she could always do the same herself.....nobody is to know just how literally she means it, after all!

What's wrong with promoting them herself as "as worn by..."? There are plenty of "celebs" (sorry, never heard of her myself ) who do the same. Is it the fact that it's a form of prostitution (in the wider sense of the word) that's a problem?

She should have said 'The Original, worn by Lara Lewington'

I don't blame her for trying to sell them anonymously, after all when you sell to someone on Ebay can't they get your contact details? That would be heaven for any dodgy stalker/weirdo types.

Far better to either donate to charity or give them to one of the charities that regularly sell celebs bit and pieces on Ebay to raise funds. I'm sure that neither of you need any money the clothes could raise in order to balance the household accounts

If she had put "worn and unwashed" in a small font in the listing the stuff would have sold for hundreds!

She could of course, report all these other fakes, as not being hers at all

if your wife did not authorise the use of her image
then report the sellers to ebay

Except "as worn by xxxx", just means xxxx wore one the same, not the actual one worn.

Are you telling me the soiled panties I bought were fakes?
