eBay sellers should list measurements

Just that really. Am I being unreasonable to ask eBay secondhand clothing sellers to put measurements in their listings. I'm tall and find it very difficult to judge from a photo, especially skirt/jumper lengths. Especially as a 14 in one brand could be the same as a 10 in another. Even less helpful are the sellers who say it's knee length (but how tall are you?) Or even worse, the people who list things as a 12 for example, beause that's how they feel it fits, even if the label is an 18.
I'm fed up of buying things that don't fit and some items really aren't cheap and can't be returned.
And whilst I'm having a moan, fabric content or a photo of the care label would be nice too.

"I've been selling on EBay for over ten years. I spend my time doing exactly that, and in return I never get time wasters."

@tectonicplates I'm not sure how listing the exact measurements (beyond the labelled shoe size) would have helped me with the person from Malta who bought a pair of designer shoes despite the fact I'd clearly ticked the "no international shipping" option.

Time wasters gonna time waste.
