    Now, that is creepy. *shudders*

    i've heard of this kind of thing before, i actually read in FHM or one of those kind of mags of woman that made a fair bit of money out of selling worn ones on ebay, until ebay pulled all her listings, tights aswell.

    I"m a red bloodied male (well like to think so), but why would you want that kind of thing.... its so wrong.

    demand and supply i guess!
    Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!

    I just find it immensely creepy. It's the kind of thing a guy I know would be into. Maybe I just can't comprehend it.lol.

    I sold some underwear, as I brought from ebay, and the original buyer added some thongs in from the set, and nowt personal, but as im a lady whos built for comfort not size, they were listed as plus size etc, but I a couple of emails asking would I wear them and send them unwashed, one pervert asked could I hold on to them until it was time of the month (polite version), Ive never pulled a listing off so quick! x

    that's just f|_|cked up!

    the japanese are big into used underwear.
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    We're currently selling off our dvd collection & one eBayer sent me the following. . .
    do me a favour? I bought a copy of this on eBay but there is no inlay with the scene index. Can you scan it and email it to me?

    Wasn't too impressed with that, cheeky sod - not even a please!

    Ahh well - I didn't see the message till I'd sold & despatched the dvd ;)

    Rab x x
    Good Luck to all Compers in 2022 :beer:
    Loving my boys . . .
    Lucky Dust for everyone & Healthy Dust for me please!

    On one of my listings selling Theme Park Vouchers, it says:
    4x Free Entry Tickets to both Thorpe Park and Chessington World Of Adventures. (In that font and size)

    And the amount of questions i received asking, is it for 1 voucher, how many vouchrers?! I reply nicely cos i want the sale, but really feel like saying read the bl00dy auction!

    I have now put this into the listing: Im just waiting for someone to ask me how many so i can LOL!
    I am commonly asked how many you will receive per buy it now item. I would like to confirm that it is 4 Vouchers per Lot.

    I have sold new underwear still tagged etc and some quite expensive. However when I bought a bulk lot I had some which were not in sets and so I listed some thongs at 99p start and was asked if I would wear and send unlaundered - yuk. Not only were they pervy they were cheap! I also had a message about on of the sets saying 'I be you'd look great in this, do you have msn?' I almost replied no STD but decided to just block them. It does give you the creeps, I was very tempted by the success of the well worn shoes sellers but get worried that buyers could turn up on the doorstep, lol.

    I've also been asked 'Would those slippers fit my grandson?' !!!

    And with the brand in caps in the title and listing been asked what brand it is.

    Measuring the insoles of shoes is quite a common one but I suppose I can see some sense in that.

    If you get a lot of questions from buyers then there is something wrong with your wording. The title says tickets, but then you mention vouchers in the explanation. That might add to the confusion instead of clearing it up. It also mentions two different locations and people might wonder 'how does that work?'

    Have you tried re-phrasing it? It might stop questions.
