PayPal question re listing sale item

Hello everyone - Humdinger here. Long time lurker but only recently plunged into the water. - lurking's been inspiring and fascinating; I had to join to be able to say so and thank everyone. It's amazing isn't it what a change of mindset can do.
So, I'lll come on soon and post the background but would be really grateful for a quick answer in the meantime re PayPal. I bought a jacket in a sale, but when I got it home it didn't go with the dress it was supposed to and the shop won't offer a refund or credit note! So, now I've calmed down and decided that speculative purchases from this shop are OUT, am thinking that selling on PayPal is the best way to recoup funds. The jacket is new with tickets - it shows the original price and 2 reductions. Is it outrageous to list at the original full price and if not, is it best to trim the ticket so that the sale prices aren't showing rather than cross through with a marker pen? I know this must sound really trivial, but it's ages since I listed on PayPal and am not sure which approach will work best. Thanks everyone Humdinger

Sorry, do you mean list it on EBay? If so there is an EBay board on this site. If not, apologies! I've not heard of selling on PayPal before.0 -
