Do they really want me to buy from them?

[i-once-was-bump]

I'm probably overly sensitive about my size but looking for plus size leggings I do have to wonder what on earth this seller was thinking when they had a thin person "model" their leggings (or, should I say, model half a pair of leggings?).

New Womens Full Length Leggings Plus Plus Plus Plus Size

As I said, maybe I am overly sensitive BUT do they really think that is the way to market plus size clothing to fat people?

My thoughts are this. They are chinese, there aren't a heck of a lot obese models in china I guess (well I haven't seen any). I think it's actually a very good way to show that they will fit very large legs.

I have to agree with you there bump, but I have a feeling she sells them in spite of her marketing efforts.  They are not easy to find in colours other than black.

I'd say they don't know any better. I think it kinda funny kinda offensive all in one. There are large people in all races so I don't think the above is reason enough.

hi

i gotta agree i seen a few that has stick thin ladies modelling them

i actually back out of them.

i think i would prefer no model and it just on a well endowed manniquin or coathanger

i also dont like it when someone is selling something as new(only 1 item and thats the one for sale you get)

and its on a real person to me thats not new thats used

I would imagine so as I cannot imagne any other reason that makes sound business sense to list their item/s for sale on eBay.

as for what were they thinking? maybe they weren't . Maybe they are not of a larger size and as such are not in tune with how their advertisement may come across. Or maybe, just maybe the items are really for some kind of fetish involving either a girl whose movements are restricted or activities involving two girls and this was the only way they could legitimately sell them on eBay.

crikey they are plus size leggings not some 2 woman fetish get up and your comment is more offensive than the photo in the listing.

Well I must say I was thinking of getting some skinny woman to display my wares in just that way so mayhap I should re-think my idea

IMO the seller is missing an oportunity to double their money, if they cut 'em in half, sewed up the sides and listed them as extra tight, stretchy, long skirts they would be in the money big (pun intended) time!

Being of ample proportions myself I find it rather funny, not offensive, and certainly wouldn't use it as a marketing tool..

you asked what they were thinking

you may see them as plus size leggings, but we have no idea of the marketing strategies that some will use.

I am pretty certain that the seller who sells Baby Doll Dresses with matching diapers, does NOT intend them for young children as they are sold in ADULT sizes.

I don't know, as I have never looked into it, but I assume that fetish clothing etc is not allowed to be listed on eBay as such and so sellers do look for other ways to list their items.

crikey I don't for one minute think you know it all but you sure know how to make someone feel dirty and violated
