shrunken clothes

scoobystew — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 15:12:07 GMT

hey all,if your buying pre owned clothing on here i would think twice!the last 2 t shirts and a hoody have all been 2 sizes smaller than stated in the listing and on the label!..ie...a size xl wouldnt fit a medium size person.this should not be allowed to happen&should be mentioned in the listing that the item has been either tumbletried to hell or put on a boil wash and have shrunk like mad as i doubt it was too small when it was made.
2nd hand clothes should be donated to charity or used to dress guy fawkes on bonfire night.
i am really annoyed with this **bleep**

@scoobystew

Click on the Resolution Centre text link at the bottom of this page.

Open an eBay item not as described dispute. State in it that clothes do not match the size labels.

Escalate it after 8 days.

If your seller is a UK one, you'll get a pre-paid returns label.

hi&thanks for replying.i did this for my hoody last month but it still means im down by 15 quid as buyer pays for postage whereas a shop would pay for returns to be sent back..the seller should mention the pit to pit sizes as i think the only reason they are selling the item is because it wont fit them anymore due to being shrunk👺

@scoobystew

If you open a not as described case rather than a return for does not fit then the seller pays the P&P

There are other possibilities though.....

I am generally a 2XL.....but with some brands I can get away with an XL while with others I am a 4XL.....and that is with brand new items

i have measured the tshirt and it is 21 inch from pit to pit,the standard Xl size is 24 inches,also the sleeves are nearly non existant which points to shrinking!it is more like a vest than a tshirt
