[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 4427661, member: 60"]I got these tips from my cousin in AZ. She only sold clothing on ebay for many years. In the beginning, she assumed people would know to measure the same type of item or that they measured at all. They didn't. Use this sentence before the measurements, specifically use the name of what the item is, like shirt, sweater, jeans, pants, dress........ "Please compare these measurements to the ___________you currently wear since different companies can vary in size and vintage items run smaller" Also, let them know if the material has some stretch or give, or none at all. She said she would receive returns because people assumed it would stretch. After it sells and before shipping, send an email asking if they compared measurements and letting them know the order can be canceled if it turns out not to be the right fit. I sold several clothing items when I had my shop on Ruby Lane and never had a return using these tips. There were two sales cancelled after I sent the "did you measure" email. Saved both me and the buyer lots of headaches.[/QUOTE]
