Re: TSR buying new clothes on eBayWhat? So you'd rather spend loads on something 'real' only for it to go out of fashion?(Original post by AceStacks)
all the clothes on there are fakes so thats a no no!
Might as well get identical stuff cheaply - even if it is sometimes disposable :/ -

OP, yes I get a fair bit from Ebay. Only if the seller has high percentage and good feedback comments though. -

Ok. What if the seller seems genuine but is just a new seller with no feedback how can I make sure I can trust them. I doubt the clothing is fake it's not major designer like Ralph Lauren it's Zara.

Re: TSR buying new clothes on eBayJust make sure you use paypal so they don't have your bank details. If there is a problem ebay's resolution centre will sort it out. Does the seller accept returns?(Original post by CCC-Team)

Re: TSR buying new clothes on eBayYou're missing the point of my post - if you're buying into passing fads then it's useless getting expensive clothes that carry a label, even if they do last longer.(Original post by AceStacks)

It's better off buying good quality staples, like jeans and coats, and then filling out your wardrobe with cheap stuff you can constantly change up. -

Re: TSR buying new clothes on eBayI don't think it makes it someone a snob if they don't want to wear fake stuff tbh. I don't wear designer anyway but I wouldn't go around with fake gear. I'd feel really silly, if you can't afford it then why buy something substandard made with an inferior quality to it? Who are you trying to prove yourself to?
Win win.
