No Fees for selling Clothing?

[vintagewatchpart]

So Ebay has abolished all fees for selling clothing on a private account.

Now more than ever surely the clamping down of businesses operating from private accounts has to increase?

I feel so sorry for those in this niche who trade legitimately as businesses who are competing with "private" sellers who just got handed a massive chunk of money.

The trick with buying second hand clothes, is simply to know the actual measurements, rather than a Size M/L/12/14 etc.  ie. base decisions on pit to pit size etc.  It's far more accurate that way.  Though there is of course some variations, depending on the fit etc.

Many brands fit slightly differently with the named sizes, even though they really shouldn't.

But a lot prefer the convenience of just looking online, rather than actually going to a shop.  It's just the way the world is these days.  🙂

I agree about needing to know the actual garment measurements.

It's a pity eBay doesn't make it a requirement to have them on clothing listings.

I also wish sellers wouldn't use AI discriptions either.

I think buying everything online generally is a generational thing.

My son (32) has at least two deliveries a week every week from online purchases !   From his contact lenses to clothes and aftershaves.

I cannot remember the last time he actually went into a store.
