    I asked or added  the used clothes selling on ebay question to the ops thread .

    As this did come up on another thread and selling used clothes has obvious personal colour,sizing and fit questions that buyers can be all over the place with .
    As suggested buying on 6in phone screen via the app is not exactly fitting the item on in a shop and checking in a tall mirror .

    The replys are informative as I know people buy on looks/cost, where  the reality of active use, layering , weather function and fit often takes  a back seat on a 6in ph screen  .....so they then can want a return at the sellers cost .

    A local ebay buisness I know of  selling items  for  the public wont sell clothing which is telling .

    I sell quite a few clothes on ebay.
    MIL would buy loads for my wife without bothering to ask if she wanted them.
    You need to be careful about description and often mine sound worse than they are just to cover me.
    Often buyers will ask for measurements of chest and height. I specify where I take the measurements from in listing.
    Had 2 issues. 1 was item not as described, when asked for evidence, they said as per my photo in advert? Buyer was rude and unpleasant.
    Other was a top had acquired a small hole between listing and sending (cat). Buyer and I agreed a partial refund and were both happy (even with discount, top sold for more than we expected). That buyer was very friendly and amicable.
    May you find your sister soon Helli.
