re-selling an item

Hi folks

Just curious - received and item today which i had bought using hubbys e-bay account;) - Although the item purchased(blouse) was my size its HUGE!! & and way too big on me.

Is there anything to stop me selling this on again and adding a note as to why im selling it. Dont wanna risk any neg feedback for hubby.and afraid original seller will report.

Any advice

Thanks
liz

    It's your item, feel free to do what you want with it!

    No need to say why you're selling it, might wanna ad a note about the sizing though so the new buyer isn't disapointed

    I have often done this- I always e-mail the originally seller to say thanks for the item in this case it was too big/small hope you won't be offended I intend to re-list, then usually 1 of 2 things happens- they either offer to refund, or say no problem go ahead.
    either way you are not causing offence then in your listing say why you are listing the item then anyone searching your feedback won't think your trying to make money by selling what you have just bought.
    hope that helps

    Infact I just remembered when I was buying some lights for my van - found 2 auctions that had dodgy pictures, a rubbish title and barely any description. Managed to get them for a good price. Then after a few months of using them I decided to sell them on, made up some decent listings and photos and got MORE than I paid for them when new :D
