Buying clothes on eBay?

[Imzadi]

I usually don't buy used clothing but my friend has an outfit I really like & I have found the same outfit in the right size on eBay.

The Seller has 100% pos feedback, member since only April, and lists the outfit as "Used" with a no returns policy. What questions should I ask her so I don't end up with an unpleasant & unexpected surprize which will end up going right in the trash or to the Salvation Army. I feel if I don't ask the right questions ahead of time, it will be my fault with what I end up with as I should have asked first. She did state in the auction that if there is a problem once you've received the item, that the buyer could email to discuss it. But "Used" seems to be a broad category to me.

Is it faded or have any holes?

You might want to ask what the measurements are.

Do they smoke or have pets (if that is an issue with you)?

I like to buy clothes on ebay, but have my specific brands that I like. I also know how those brands fit me, and don't have any fear of them not fitting.

I always verify the smoking/pets stuff. I prefer NWT, or NWOT, but if the price is right, I may get something that is Used.

One of my favorite winter sweaters is a Talbots one, that has snowmen on it, but the colors are more in the gray/blue/beige tones. I came acrossed it on ebay in the summer, and got a great price on it!!!

You might want to ask if it has any stains, are any buttons missing, zippers broken etc. Also I would ask if it has ever been altered. Definately ask if the item is in a house where someone smokes.
