Ive bought some nice M&S, Zara, French Connection stuff on Ebay... all new, but on looking today I thought to myself, Ive thrown out ten times better than some crap being sold on here, look at this lovely creation.. think they should have written fits all or odd shapes welcome. Ive also seen second hand shoes well scuffed with heels worn down.., I wouldnt give them to a charity shop.. but some want to sell.

Ugh---who lets their shoes get dirty like that? Its why they invented socks.....and if you wash your socks, you shoes don't get dirty! I always use those Dr. Sholls liners. If your shoes are dirty inside, they must smell, too....

I've seen some real junk on eBay. I've been snookered a couple of times, I just donate the undesirable items to charity or if really bad just trash them.

I've purchased jeans on eBay before. I had to sift through various sellers because some pictures revealed more wear than worthwhile. I finally found AG Adriano Goldschmied jeans from a reputable seller, at a fair price, in good condition, arriving just as expected. Would I sell? Not likely. I don't know who's out there and people these days can complain and lie even if I'm forthright about selling items in good condition and prompt with shipping.

I wouldn't wear socks with the shoes in the third link/picture. I can't fit a liner in all of my shoes, but, I can clean them.

Dizzybint, I can't imagine why anyone would think that they could sell those old things. Thanks for the laugh.

I've had some fantastic buys from Ebay! NWT, or NWOT, or EUC I have more ss/blouses and jackets than I can wear! I have also sold on Ebay with no problems. Its partly luck part what types of things you are selling. I would never try to sell dirty, used shoes!

With the outrageous price of clothes nowadays, its about the only place I can shop and not need a loan! Also, my "men" are big guys---,y ds is 2x, my dh is 3x, I fnd such sizes at reasonable prices on Ebay. otherwise, shirts in such sizes run $80--$100 if you can even find them

Ive found good NWT clothing on ebay and even better, Goodwill. It's such a high getting nice work clothes for much less.
People will try to sell anything, its comical. I work in jewelry and I've seen people trying to sell junk jewelry likes it's some really rare and expensive piece. There's a necklace we sell for $90 (lab created, sterling silver, etc) and they had it for $500 on ebay.

They make shoe liners that are like paper thin. I think they are Dr Scholls. I just am in the habit of using them, my mother taught me that. The perspiration from your feet can deteriorate the lining of your shoes. If you're wearing regular socks, that's ok, but if you're wearing just nylon stockings, the perspiration soaks through. Actually, my frugal mother made shoe liners, from fabric facing. We were taught to make things last, but that was back in the day.....
