I just sold a vintage wedding dress on eBay that I bought for my wedding, but did not wear. Before selling, I measured the dress with a tape measure around the bust, waist and hips and put these down in the listing. I also put down in the title that the dress was a size 14, as that's what the measurements I took roughly equated to in modern terms (and that I intended to have the dress altered to fit my size 12 figure).
Winning bidder turned up excited to collect her purchase on Saturday, and even when she came to the door, I thought "I hope this is not for you", because if she was a size 14, it was a large one - pushing a 16 really. Anyway, got an email last night saying the hips fitted, but the zip wouldn't go past her waist, can she have a refund.
Firstly, the listing stated no refunds, and secondly, the actual measurements in the text of the listing were accurate. She is hung up on the number 14 from the title, but I have tried to point out that with high street and vanity sizing, 14 can mean many things, and so she needed to use the accurate measurements as her guide to buying.
I don't have to give a refund do I? Can really do without the hassle, as my baby is nearly here, and I was so pleased to have finally sold the dress (for 10% of the purchase price, she has a bargain!). ????
