So I sold a blazer on ebay. I have 100% positive feedback over 290 items and a member for 10 years. Has anyone had luck winning an item not as described case after provide SOO much detail and also pictures? What do to....??? I tried my very best to explain to the buyer that I go though the painstaking process to measure each and every item I list to the buyer can make an educated purchase and that used items have been altered at least once already for the original purchaser which is again why I provide all measurements. The guys' tailor measured the blazer to be within 1/4" of all the measurements I provided some exactly the same (minus length, not sure).
Here is the basics of the add (there were also 11 pictures including one of the tag pictured below):
I do my best with the measurements but all are approximations.
Size: 48 Regular (Tagged) more like a 46 Regular
Chest (armpit to armpit on back): 23.5"
Shoulder (seam to seam on back): 19.5"
Arm (shoulder seam to end of arm): 23.25"
Overall Length (bottom of collar to hem): 31.5"
Really nice metal buttons
Single rear vent
Fully canvassed
Fully lined
Here is the "item not as described email I get" from the buyer
I had the Blazer measured and except for the Sleeve length, it's a 44R.
Your Sleeves measured 3/4" short for a 44R @ 23 1/4". A 48R sleeve should measure 26".
Your shoulder to shoulder measures 19 1/2". A 48R is 22".
Your Underarm to Underarm (chest) is 23 1/4". A 48R is 25".
Your bottom of Collar to Hem is 31". A 48R is 33".
They don't know why the arms on the blazer are 3/4" short compared with the other 44R measurements.
