<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 9642599, member: 649"]I started on eBay in 1999 selling my kids clothes and soon began selling vintage adult clothing, too. It is indeed a hassle! All the measuring, photographing and describing every imperfection... not to mention the cleaning and ironing beforehand. And then getting a buyer that complains or wants a return because it doesn't fit or (supposedly) finds a tiny imperfection that you missed. And of course there are those buyers that purchase for a one-time event, secretly wear the garment, and then want to return due to some made-up complaint. Ebay forces a return even if the seller has a "no return" policy.</p><p>I sold regularly for about 15 years back when the money was good. But then my life circumstances changed and I no longer had the time to sell. I have lots of stock stored in my basement for "someday" but prices realized are nowhere near what they used to be. Ah well... a future retirement activity, I suppose.</p><p>I still harbor a strong affinity for 1930s/40s dresses![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
