You might want to check your eBay balance to see if it has gone up. Is it possible that eBay does the refund and then tacks it back onto your fees for the next month's cycle? I hate that you can arms-length contract with a purchaser and then eBay has full override capability. That is a long and tired debate, though. It would be nice if eBay picked up the tab, but I seriously doubt it.

Well, I THINK my balance went up $25, but they must have been holding that money for weeks and I don't keep it down the dollar in my head.

What listing titles would you give these two jackets?  I'm not too familiar with the names of coat styles, so all I have right now is "Brioni Olive Wool Coat" or something like that.  That obviously won't attract much attention...

The first is pure wool and the second is pure cashmere with removable fur lining.

LOL nice...

Wow, those Brioni...

VLSI I'd call it a heavy wool field / hunting jacket

What size and maker?

I've seen those called actions pleats. A Norfolk jacket is a belted version of this kind of hunting jacket. Yours has the half-belt in the back, so I think you can legitimately call it a Norfolk, but I'm not an expert. If it were me, I'd use something like "Brioni olive Norfolk shooting/hunting jacket"
I'll bet people will be drooling over it.

I just learned so much from this post.  Thanks a lot for the information.  Its very interesting actually.

Thanks Spoo, I'll be using those.  I wouldn't have ever thought that coming up with a good ebay title is a difficult thing, but yours definitely separate yourself from other seller.

Ya me...I really would be interested in size / measurements and price! Those two are beautiful...

General question to everyone, but Spoo, noticed that in some of your listings, you dont have the size in the title? Do you feel it is not as important as other key words due to the fact most people use the ebay choices to narrow down the size vs. putting it in the search?

I 100% always put the size at the end of my listings, couldn't imagine not. Just wondering thoughts.
