Call me a cynic!

I must be the most cynical person I know, I'm selling quite a lot of clothes on Ebay at the momemnt and I've had a question from a buyer asking me mhow tall I am because he wants to buy a jacket as a birthday present for his girlfriend and will I take a photo of myself wearing it - back and front !- and send it to him.

Its plain black so I can't see why he wants the back view - I have politely declined his request....I just feel uncomfortable with it somehow.

I think I'm just a naturally suspicious person.

Not really, I wouldn't have done that either! Once I was selling some of my Maternity Underwear that I had never worn, consisted of a bra and knickers set. I received an email from a bloke who said "Do you have any knickers that have been worn". I replied asking why and he replied with "I like to buy underwear that has been close to a lady"!!! And lo and behold if you went through what he had purchased, he had only ever purchased knickers! Informed eBay but they didn't do a thing! It made me feel sick.

Are you M or F

The buyer could want to know if it is tailored or shaped in anyway that his GF wouldn't want, and it would show how long the jacket would be on someone your height and her height.

Not necessarily sinister, slightly odd maybe, unless buyer wants you only wearing jacket

If you can get a mannequin that would help.

LOL - he didn't ask that but don't want to model for him. I only sell my old clothes as a hobby so it wouldn't be worth getting a mannequin. Its only on for 99p so he could just risk it! LOL

My MIL was selling some sandals on ebay last summer, somebody asked for pictures of the sandals being worn so they could see them better, MIL asked me to be the foot model as we have the same size feet but apparently i had nicer feet with painted toe nails. unfortunately i can't remember if the person who requested the pictures purchased them or not or wether they just had a foot fetish.

I have just received an item that I was charged £3 for the postage on the day I won the auction. I received it this morning and they posted it 2nd class and it only cost them £1.09. I think this stinks. :mad:

Opps wrong thread.

This is actually a very common practice in Japan, where used schoolgirl knickers sell in huge quantities.

I can’t see the attraction myself. Clean knickers can be very sexy but any dubious stains or smells would turn me right off.

Maybe I’m old fashioned.
