selling a restricted item

hibiscus_rose — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 06:42:14 GMT

I have a couple of very nice bras that are used and I'm not sure how 'vintage' they are. The section on the selling of these is vague. Does anyone know the official rule?

Here is what the 'restricted items' section said:

-------------------------------------

Restricted

Most used clothing (shirts, pants, dresses, etc.) as long as it has been cleaned, the seller states that the item is used, and there is no inappropriate content in the listing
The following items, as long as there's no inappropriate content in the listing or any indication that the item was worn as underwear:
- Bathing suits
- Bras
- Lingerie
- Pantyhose
- Spandex
- Wrestling singlets
Vintage undergarments, as long as they are not modelled or recently worn
-------------------------------------------------------
Hope someone can help
regards

Think of it this way. Would you want to wear someone elses used underwear? Of course you wouldn't.

vintage underwear would be at least 25 preferably more years old.

your old underwear is definitely NOT allowed on eBay. NO underwear or swimwear that has been worn in recent years is allowed on ebay even if it is washed!

I just did a search, which I should have done first, and found that people DO buy used bras!

So, thank you for your answers.

I'm almost certain that even Op Shops etc aren't allowed to accept & sell them. Think they just get tossed out.

Against eBay policy to list preworn underwear.

Yes, silly sellers who don't know or flout the rules do list them, and risk their accounts being restricted due to policy violations.

Not worth the risk for the few bucks I reckon.

If you list under vintage, and the garment does not fit what a buyer thinks is vintage, then you run the risk of a buyer opening a not as described and losing your dosh. (and vintage sellers are known to regularly report lots of items that should not be in that category).

Not exactly true, it is against the Australian ebay policy however you can list them on most other sites including the UK where it is only knickers and underpants that can only be listed if new.

The OP copied in Australian policy.

Unlike some, I read others posts and I base my response on what OPs are asking.

If I am unsure, I most usually ask the OP.

Edit: and the OP is based in Oz and posts to Australia. Not World Wide.

181544097969 the infamous New Without Tags but has a dirty mark inside that will come out in the wash,God's beard woman they got no tags so how hard is it to wash 'em?

331326786762 says in listing that they are pre-owned.

I see this with swimwear all the time.I'm not saying it's right but if you dig around in swimwear there is a lot of this going on.

The OP may have copied in Australian policy however where is the harm in letting them know they can list their bras on the UK site if they wish.

I can't see why ebay have a policy aganst selling second hand bras when they allow the sale of tee shirts and tops which are often worn without a bra and not too many people wear a bra to bed yet nightclothes are allowed.

These are the Oz boards ... unless someone is actually seeking that information, posting every different eBay sites rules from around the world just makes selling from Australia signficantly more confusing than it already is ....IMO

Found a better one.New without tags & in original packaging but she took selfies with it on & I'm pretty sure she ain't got undies on underneath that tiny bikini 281451537157.I wonder if she will wash it if it sells.

A lot of op shops do sell pre-owned bras.

No bids yet, either. With only 1 day to go I'm surprised there's not a bidding war going on.

$10.50 postage???!!!! With postage being that cheap, I have to agree with you CQ, there should be a bidding war going on!

Re: selling a restricted item

cq_tech — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 14:50:22 GMT

You reckon that's cheap? Have a look at the size of the bikini... it's so tiny that it could probably go as a large letter. 😉
