Send it back? Can't be bothered!

Hey Autumn....the big e-bay buyer :o) I have been lucky buying things on e-bay and have only had a couple of things that didn't fit..I wasn't overly bothered as they weren't too expensive and I think it's all part of buying things on an auction site anyway. One of them I gave away to someone else and the other I resold on e-bay as I really couldn't be bothered to send them back to the seller and it was my own fault for not checking the size anyway. I think most of the time I would just resell things that were the wrong size, hoping to get more than I paid in the first place :o)

The problem with it is if the tag says medium then its not her fault. She might not sell mens clothing very often so she wouldnt have known to write that the size is much larger then the tag states. Thats what sucks about buying clothes when you cant see them in person first. I bought panties on there and when I got them even though they were size small they were way to big for me so I wasted $30 on a lot of 6 pairs of satin panties. I didnt complain because I know how different brands are different sizes even if they all say small on the tag. I wish that companies were made to make everything the same size as a standard so ALL mens mediums would be the corret size no matter what brand you choose.

I sure do and I also get annoyed when someone says to me, "Keep it" or persuades me to buy a lemon like that brown leather coat when brown does not look good on me, or persuades me not to buy the white leather coat because it will get dirty when it would have looked good on me. Next time I am going to find a sales lady with my coloring rather then my friend who is a Spring while I am a Winter. I had to return stuff and it was not on Ebay, but to the store. I hated to take time out of my day to get there as I was working at the time, and I had someplace else to do. And with Christmas presents, I feel bad because they thought I would like it. Fortunately it does not happen that often. Oh by the way, if you know an elephant in the neighborhood....

I hate sending stuff back or taking stuff back, so much that I often don't do it. yard sale, anybody?

How annoying. I rarely shop online, cause my country has a complicated rule on bringing goods into the country. I did once ordering a cowboy hat for a friend and it went smoothly and no complain there. But I ordered it directly from the shop, not from Ebay or Amazon. I need to be able to see what I buy and check every stitches and the fit on my body before I buy my clothes. So, I would not order it online.

There are some false sellers who does not send items. i bought a watch from china through ebay still i didnt receive it.its nearly a year before. moreover sending back the goods overseas takes much time and cost is also high. with that money you can buy a good Tshirt for your hubby near by. always go for trusted ebay sellers and read reviews before buying.

This is why I have never and will never buy clothes online..Unless I can try them on, I can't guarantee it'd fit.But give it another couple days, maybe the seller will work it out with you and you can get the size you need..

Hi Autumngold, I have been very lucky when purchasing clothes online as they all are the sizes that they said they have been, I order from the catalogue too but find I quite often have to return with them but it is free t do so so not too much of a problem, I would put it by to give someone larger than your hubby as a Christmas pressie myself. Huggles. Ellie :D

That sounds like a very unlucky experience you had! I tend to buy my clothes online too although I buy my clothes from Littlewoods! Thankfully I have never had to return an item of clothing back as yet. I'm sure there are a lot of genuine clothes sellers on ebay but I wouldn't buy my clothes from ebay, definitely not. Shopping online is the most convenient way to buy clothes, it doesn't get any easier than that. Hopefully the seller will get back in touch with you to arrange this refund otherwise you could file a complaint and this will go against their rating and they won't like that, it's probably what they deserve though if they have not been honest with you. I wish you luck. Andrew

Being an ebay seller my self I can honestly say that there is nothing more frustrating than a seller that does not disclose all the details of the item in their auction. I have had that same thing happen to me as well. I will say that it being the weekend some ebayers are like a business and closed on the weekends. I would give the seller at least 7 days to resolve the problem if at that time nothing is done then I would contact ebay and file a report that the item is not what was described in the auction. As I said however give them a chance. Some sellers dont work on the weekends as its time with their family's. Good luck I am sure the seller will do what ever is needed to make the sale a sucessful one.

I really feel thats why, online shopping works and is so successful. Often times i end up with stuff i don't want buts its too complicated to send it back. they make the process so hard and its sucks, but we should send what we don't want back no matter how complicated.

That's the bad and the good of shopping at ebay. I always verify the sellers ratings when I buy something. If they have a good rating then you be pretty sure that if you do have to send something back they'll be accommodating because they don't want a negative rating. You can get some good deals and nice stuff, but there's always the chance your sight unseen purchase won't work out. If you know you can send it back and get a refund then no harm done.

I think that's normal risk when you buy online. I just want real shopping so I can choose exactly which i want and shopping is also interested . Dont be annoyed anymore! :)
