It won't tab down unless you've edited another item in the same category once before in your folder already. Once you edit one shoe, you can tab through the rest of the shoes you are working on.
Did you just upgrade to the latest rev they released yesterday?

I've had to quit the program, start the program, re-download categories and info from ebay.

24100% you mean.

I wonder what's the record. There was someone in the thrift awards thread who found $1000 cash inside a Kiton Cashmere overcoat (jesus christ). That has to be close. Wes with the gold buttons is up there too. In general, that list has to be skewed towards small items like ties and belts, I think.
I meant 241X. Need to not post when I'm on the way out......good thing I don't drink.

Aaaah. I think I remember you finding that. Good for you!
whats even better is that the same buyer wants the blue one I'm posting Thursday, if I'll take $725 even. I explained I had a bidder on the gray one drop out at 800 and a 2nd bidder drop out at $833.

If he'll come up to $750 though, it will be a discount for being a repeat buyer.

So on an investment of $14 +$8 dry cleaning + $10 bespoke Norton & Son moth eaten orphan I bought because the buttons matched the Kiton, I get 3 kiton suits that sell for over $2000+, and a Paul Stuart custom-made (don't know if Samuelsohn or Adrian Jules) that I gifted.

I'm thinking of quitting because I'm unlikely to repeat this. I don't know anyone down here that sells sulka with 14K buttons so I'm unlikely to find one hanging out in my local GW.

hey guys, had a seller contact me about a shirt not fitting. what is the best manner of handling this. they mentioned that they've purchased a few shirts of the same make and size before. but supposedly the one i sold measures SIGNIFICANTLY out of proportion to what he expected. I did specify the tagged size but also specifically measured the p2p, arm, and length of shirt all in my listing.

any suggestions on what i should do? I specify no returns in my listing as well.

I did, still same thing. Checked current version, turned off and on. Odd. Just checked it for upload, no errors, so lets see. Maybe ebay reduced their mandatory fields?

Spoo I know you use garagesale, any equivalent programs for PC? I'm not sure about turbolister, might give it a chance.


I used turbolister before I got my Mac.

I think I still have auctions uploading from there.

No! This is that uncut heroin that you keep chasing through the rest of your addiction. Aint no high as good as the first, but you're sure as **** gonna try.

Thats pretty cut and dry buyers remorse. Id tell them to open a case in the resolution center if that was me. Id gamble all the beans in the can thats a no brainer win for you.

Hey.......Anybody handled much Zegna outerwear? I'm getting ready to list a cashmere lined car coat that seems to copy some of the Loro Piana stuff. 

PM me if you know this line of coats. 


Of course. Theres no separate line of outerwear though.. not sure what you mean by line?

Awesome, thanks Spoo!

He even specifically stated " If you will not take it back, how do I take advantage of the eBay guarantee?"

I'll direct him to the resolution center. Is it just a matter of him opening up a case? I assume this will alert me and ebay will contact me?

Ah, when I picked this up, I thought it was part of the Zegna Elements line, but Elements isn't on any of the tags/ nomenclature. This could have preceded that branding though. Just trying to figure out how to list it without Using zegna elements, which is what I wanted to use.

 241%. Paid $3.49, Sold for $843. 


My record is 290X I think. Bought a lot of pants, which included a pair of Kiton dress trousers, for what averaged out to $.43 each. Sold the Kitons for $125.

Also sold 2x Brioni and a pair of LP out of the same lot for ~$100 each :)

That's big time. A couple of years ago I found $546 inside an old no-namey tweed jacket I bought for $7. Still have the jacket even though it is not my size. I hated to sell such a lucky sport coat.
