Men buying on Ebay

We have been selling some unwanted clothes on ebay, typically skirts/dresses in "plus" sizes eg 16/18/20 and some of DDs school uniform. A trend we've noticed is most are being bought by men, or at least buyers with exclusively male names. Not jumping to conclusions but is this a trend anyone has noticed? Obviously it could be men buying for their wife, their daughter, or even women setting up in DH name. Or theres a remote chance some men want skirts for themselves (fine) or schoolgirl items that fit them (less fine though its theirs once they've bought it). One such item was a tartan skirt DD wore to school not specific to them but marketed as a school skirt (Trutex Taylor blue). She was on steroids for certain conditions so had eg skirts in 36 waist etc.

Not reading too much into it but is this a trend noticed before?

Agree with everyone else. I don't have an eBay account but will often find something and send it to DH and he buys it on his account.

When I was with my ex I used to buy things on his eBay and Amazon that's probably what it is. If men want to wear skirts and dresses though why not? I wear jeans and trousers. Clothing is fun and it should be for everyone. And who doesn't love a man in a kilt?
