Do you ever buy clothing on eBay?

[Pink Jazz]

I was wondering, do you ever buy clothing on eBay? While Amazon and department stores are my primary places to buy clothing, there are times when I need to turn to eBay.

I have an IZOD button-down shirt in Fairy Tale pink from Spring 2017 with pelican print, and last year I also bought that same shirt for my pastor. Today at church my pastor was wearing that shirt, and my father thought he looked good in that shirt that my father wanted me to buy him that shirt as well. Since that shirt is no longer available at most stores since it is from the Spring 2017 collection, I turned to eBay to see if anyone had it in his size, and luckily, I was able to find it, new with tags. I have also bought clothes from previous seasons on eBay as well.

In addition to buying previous seasons clothes, I also buy basic needs such as T-shirts (which on Amazon will often get flagged as "Add On" items), as well as my pink baseball cap and pink hoodie.

So, if you ever buy clothing from eBay, under what situations would you choose to buy from there?

I just bought wind pants from ebay because they are hard to find in stores. It's always the cloth track pants and never the noisy water-resistant pants that I'm looking for more of. Turns out it was too small and they don't take returns. Now I'm trying to sell it back myself and there haven't been any takers.

Amazon > Ebay.

Note that I didn't specifically say used clothing. In fact I have never bought any used clothing from eBay; I go to Goodwill for that.

Yes if it is a button down shirt of a brand I am familiar with, so I know 100% that it will fit. I will buy new clothing off of ebay. I would not buy a brand I was unfamiliar with

Yes, there is a certain pair of jeans from a certain brand that I loved - and they no longer make them in stores.... ebay is the only option and it definitely works out.

Also great for other clothing items.... I needed some under armor shirts for working out, anyone who has been in that store knows they run 10-20 a pop. Buy a pack of 5-10 for <$20 total on ebay. Also shoes... love buying some $350 Allen Edmonds for $40. I've had plenty of pairs that have come back looking brand new - I honestly couldn't tell if anyone had used it if they did - and to be honest I don't think they were used.

I honestly don't care if someone has used clothing previously, just wash it. It's not difficult.

I just found out the flannel I am wearing is an IZOD. Thought it only came in pink.

Do used socks count?

At different times, 4 bucket hats with varied success. One was a rain hat. Mostly I've been pleased enough although a couple were too big on me, I had to modify those.

Couple pairs of golf shoes that were OK.

I bought a cheap jacket at Walmart some years ago that I got attached to and found one like it on ebay used. It's OK although Med. and I usually wear Large, but I can wear it.

Running FREEAV.exe it asks me if I want to Repair or Uninstall. I chose the Repair option, will see if it seems to install OK.

Says the repair is complete and it asks if I want to restart now or later, I'm restarting now...

Edit: Seems OK. It's running Panda Dome, "protected." The reboot took a while, I restarted again and it was a lot faster, still not fast like my Win10 machine. Don't know if it was a slower boot than it was before, I only use the machine once a week, can't remember how long it takes, I don't watch it.

I have a good feeling about it.

Where else would I buy pink IZOD shirts in bulk?

Never really think of ebay for normal stuff. I use them for difficult to find vintage items. Last thing I got was a 41 tenor sax for my daughter ~10 years ago. My clothes come from the thrift shop.

I do but there are some issues with Ebay and that is, there are some dropshippers.
What they do is dropship items from China or Amazon into Ebay.
So always check out the sellers profile and go through Amazon and other sites for the same product.

Every time I've purchased anything made by IZOD it's always run short on me, so i only purchase of the rack now after too many failed IZOD purchases.

I have a friend who buy clothing from there all the time - jeans, shirts, ties etc

For IZOD I'm usually able to spot the dropshippers if the color and size selections are the same as Amazon.

I bought a hat once

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Sure. They were new, though. (Still in plastic.)

Some businesses do their closeout stuff on eBay. Can find some good deals.

rule #1 of ebay clothing: even if they says it's new, it's used.
