Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

[Tink561]

I think if someone did all that for looking for an item then they have too much time on their hands... That's almost a full day of searching.....

That's why I just type in custom and look through the list. I'm not always looking for Disney anyway.

I've found tons of stuff searching ebay like that.. it does take some time but worth it LOL

 

[ZanyToes]

I am SOOO anxious to get my sets in now LOL.. I just got some fabric in yesterday so when those are done I'll post pictures of the girls first disney sets.. I'm to lazy to do them all though, I'm altering two overalls I got to dresses, making one set for the girls, and the others are being BOUGHT LOL

Oh, and if you guys want to find better deals add RESELL to your searches.. you can get some great stuff that people have used so it goes for about 1/2 the retail price usually I search custom minnie resell, etc.. and have found some good stuff for cheap

Hi Gang!

Since I realized that one of the ebay sellers did not want her site direct linked to I went in and deleted the link from a couple of posts.

Also, if you are an ebay seller yourself, please do not put links to your own auctions. You can list your seller name however. "No for sale posts" is actually the number 1 guideline for DIS posting. Here is the guideline itself: FOR SALE For sale ads are strictly prohibited on any of the DISboards. Anyone posting such ads will have their post deleted. This same policy applies to links to your ebay/auction listings . "For sale" posts includes requests for donations. If you are participating in or wish to promote a charitable event, please email the webmaster at webmaster@wdwinfo.com for permission first. (You will be asked to provide proof that the organization is legitimate.) Until your request is approved, we ask that you do not post about it on the boards.

Thank you!

Hi, I would like to add its all in the way you word your ebay listing. Ebay usually will just pull your listing if someone (another seller usually turns you in). Disney does have there people go thru ebay but usually will tell you to take it off or they will end it. Your most likely not going to get sued.They dont have the time to worry about a handfull of Moms trying to make extra money and be home with there kids! .

These posts have inspired me to make some more outfits for my daughter. I made a Cars one (with matching hairbows) and a Lion King set. I am just finishing up a Snow White one. But I have NO clue how to post pictures. Can anyone tell me how please?

I bought the Minnie fabric from Hancock for $3.99/yard. Use coupon code "WELCOME" for free shipping. HTH!

Thank you so much!

re the Ebay issue...ya think WDW has never heard of them? I guess I just don't see the big deal. I would definitely think mentioning the sellers would help their sales. I know what I have spent on custom clothes and am always looking for more.

(on the main part of the "posting seller's contact info in a public forum or not" issue)

There's always a bigger picture.
It does not have to be just about DlSNEY or even eb@y finding out = it could be ANYONE.

Posting someone's ebay account info, (ie. their ebay id) or their store info, W-I-T-H that person's knowledge & permission is okay ... it's their choice.

But Posting someone's eb@y account name on a public forum is not a good idea, in general.

WHY NOT?
(*note = These Reasons are NOT the Only Reasons, Just SOME or a Few of the Vast amount of Possible Reason as to why NOTd... okay?!)

That info is directly related to someone's income & "work" AND their home life, their children, well, okay = their e-v-e-r-y-thing.
AND
That info can be very easily used to get that person's phone number & mailing address & their business-related p@yp@l account email addresses ... very possibly their HOME ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER!
Just think = Some sellers still use their home addresses for mailing, some actually have to & have no other choice. As well as, their home phone numbers.
...
Both eb@y (& P@yp@l?) suggest (if not require) that each member use their same contact info that they used on their credit card ... At first, doesn't it have to match exactly, in order to get the account? (that's a question) and of course, you can change it later, I guess (Sorry, that was a long time ago for me.)

Now, FOR INSTANCE = just imagine this ...
What if it's a "perv" scanning through eb@y for pictures of children & babies? like the ones that are used to model clothing in these custom boutique listing pixs? ... or even just an angry person who just can't control themselves over some tiny detail in a transaction ... etc. etc. ... now, what IF "they" want to know where child lives or goes to school, etc? ...
They can check the listings = see if the seller typed in their home town in their LOCATION line (on the top of the listing). no, it not there. okay. Well, what if that "person" is not satified by just looking there? they'll just request that seller's contact info through eb@y. Even IF they have place a tiny offer or bid on one of that seller's items to do it, OR even have to buy a small something, it does not matter, since they just want a way to get at that seller's contact info. ....
Now, think= what if that seller did not have a PO BOX & maybe coul not get one anywhere near her house? and/or ... what if she was luck y enough to only be able to afford one phone, her home phone? and/or ... what if she lived where there was NO cell phone coverage at all, even if she could afford one? and/or she's an honest person & a trusting person and left her contact info correct on her eb@y account And on her P@yP@l account? Also, it needs to be accurate for her transactions to go through, too, right? ... sooooo, her HOME Address and her HOME phone number has just been sent to _______.

Nice picture, huh?!

OKAY = we ARE talking BIGGER PICTURE, right!? =So, let's image al that happedned. *AND* .... YOU are a buyer of that seller (for instance) And NOW YOUR eb@y id is connected to THAT seller (for 90 days, the listing you purchased something from that seller are still visible to anyone looking for it!) ... you post pictures of YOUR OWN KIDS wearing those adorable outfits somewhere, anywhere *AND* you then post the name of the seller you got it from (OR someone else posts that's seller's name because they noticed where you got it from) = Now someone, ANYONE, can back-search through eb@y and request YOUR eb@y contact info! ... even nicer thought, huh?!....

okay, he/she "LIKES" what they see, eh?! (and nOT in a "good way, right"!) so, they proceed to back-search through all of that seller's transactions & the other pixs used, etc, etc,etc,etc ... it can just go on & on ... that's person bougt this from that person and she also bought from that person and that person sold to this person, too .... etc,etc,etc.

okay, you say = "well, I'll just report that person & their account gets pulled." = do you really think THAT will really stop them? They'll just get a new one in 5 minutes. ... or ... you say = "I'll get their contact info, too = so, I'll know who they are." Do you really think they are gonna use their own real info? They already know how people can mis-use that stuff. And what are you gonna do? call them? ummm, not a good idea. Report them to their police? whats that gonna do, you don't even know WHY they want your info (well, not YET you don't. and hopefully it will stay that way.)

Did you know you (at one time, pehaps still available) you don't have to be in a transaction with someone to request their eb@y account's contact info/phone number ... AND it's against eb@y rules to falsify your contact info (even if someone's doing it is for "a good reason", like protecting their privacy & lives AND that of their family &/or children.) ...
And even WHEN/IF you did have to be in a transaction with someone before you could request their contact info = THAT DOES NOT matter much = because all someone had to do is place a small bid or offer on an item of that seller & then their request (for eb@y to send them that seller's direct contact info) would automatically go through. OR just BUY something small from them, and then request the contact info. ... The seller and the asker would receive DIRECTLY FROM EB@Y (within minutes & without prior approval or more scrutiny) an email actually stating that info.

AND what if that person does not want it posted here/a public access forum, for whatever reason, or on any public forum? It's just not the best choice, especially when it deals with possible risk to that seller's eb@y account = that's someone's income, the privacy of their families & children, etc,etc.

This is just one side of one colorful block on the rubic's cube of life.
Try to look at the BIG PICTURE here. =)
That's all ... I am trying to say (stress the word "trying") ...

Even though the reason(s) to share a eb@y seller's info in this public forum were quite innocently meant, etc.etc. ... It would be so much more "respectful" (use for lack of better words, not to insult) to just ask that seller if they want to be advertised here, &/or ask to refer them & how they think that's appropriate or acceptable to them.

thanks. ...

WOW that are a lot of what ifs..

If a perv really wants to come after someone there are plenty of people who use their childrens pic in their auctions.

 

[jessica52877]

This whole thread has gone weird! It was a fun place to see what others kids dress like, get ideas and have a fun conversation. Now it is weird, I am receiving strange PM's about "secrets". HUH!

Anyone got more pictures to post! Love to see them!

 

[LadyRob]

Well, I WAS enjoying this thread.

Basically, IF it' not YOUR RISK = it's NOT YOUR CHOICE to provide someone's account info in a PUBLIC FORUM.
You may NOT agree WITH ME, but your not agreeing with me Still Does Not Make it Your Choice.

I'm NOT trying to enrage anyone = just pointing out a few possible "problems" that could arise = that's all ... Someone had to point it out to me once, because I didn't even realize such things were possible. There's BOOKS on this stuff out there ...

AND of course, I certainly HOPE & PRAY such things do NOT happen to anyone or their children or families.

thanks. ... wholeheartedly, I thank you.

Personally... I think that if that person chose to be on Ebay to sell their stuff that is their doing. They know that word gets around and people either like your stuff that you sell or they don't. If they are not wanted to get noticed by some of us DISboard members or other hundreds of web pages...I guess they shouldn't do ebay and should find a "safer" job in your eyes. If (now here I go wiith the "IF's) this person is so worried about being caught about something they have made then shame on them....maybe they shouldn't do that then; and if they are worried about safety of their family...there again...maybe ebay or any type of internet thing is not for them too.

Now it's time for me to leave for I can get my flame suit on.

 

[WDW1st-timers]

Yes I also use to LOVE this thread. It was one of my favorites...I use to wish I had the talent that some of these people have. I hope that this can go back to the way it was ment for.

 

[lillygator]

Wow ---- I came here looking for cute WDW clothes...I think the EBay issue is really hitting home with some posters... I am not seeing the "big picture"...a perv can get on Ebay and get all that info without the little ole DIS'ers sharing where they got the clothes from.

 

[lillygator]

kind of wierd that this poster just joined 2/24/07 and 8 of the 13 posts are this ebay related issue??? DIS'er in disguise?

[lillygator]

isn't EBAY a PUBLIC forum as well? (well maybe forum isn't the right word)

and what's the difference of posting a link which has seller's store names listed on the website that may not want to be listed on a public forum?

 

[Tink561]

Yes, I agree...the thread is just wierd now!

Annaliese, I think everyone gets the point...you can stop trying to scare everyone now. The moderator deleted links, I even went in and deleted a link I had posted. We all get it now. So, do you have any custom clothes you'd like to share with us?
