Hey guys, long time. Life has thrown a lot my way, so I'm not able to be active on the boards as much as I like.

This guy buys a pair of polo croc mocs from me (I posted them here a while ago, item ID 333079811014), and initiates a chargeback on paypal stating that the item wasn't as described. No details on what was wrong. Of course no communication or return request on ebay. In the paypal resolution center, I included the order details on ebay along with a couple of screenshots of the ebay listing, with a small writeup.

Is there anything else I could do to fight this? This ************* is a seller, too.

Update:

I called them about a month after I had submitted all the details, and they told me they forgot to attach the new info (all the proof that he's a scammer) to the credit card company, and now it was too late. That really pissed me off, and I wasn't holding out much hope for the case to settle in my favor.

I've been toying with selling my jacket from Isaia made from Vicuna, although I constantly feel like I'm in an Enya song when I wear it.

Fits an IT50, but has inches of extra fabric through it incase I get fat. If any of you have experience, what kind of price would the market take and are there any import/export regulations to be aware of? I've done some research, but surprisingly anything about the material is sparse.

Why are you selling it?

Why are you selling it?

I don't really wear sport jackets anymore. I bought a Brioni one a while back I really like for the odd time I might. I'm simply toying with the thought right now. I do that sometimes, which is why on my buy/sell page I sometimes cancel an advertisement and write "[keeping]".

For the experienced buyers here, are there any tricks or good methods for judging whether a suit jacket tor sportcoat's shoulder will fit you, based on the measurements between the shoulder seams? I just bought my first suit on ebay, and luckily for me, the measurements posted by the reputable seller were quite accurate and the fit was quite good, but it struck me that different styles of jacket will have wider or narrower shoulder seams, Brionis and Canalis will have measurements that are around 1 inch wider than a Neapolitan jacket of the same label size, and I guess this is due to having more structured and padded shoulders that extend a little bit further out. I do live within driving distance of a Neiman Marcus so I've made a pest of myself and went and tried on a bunch of jackets to get a feel for them, but what about other less widely available makers? How do you guys judge whether a Jacket's shoulders fit?

How do you guys judge whether a Jacket's shoulders fit?

Buying only unstructured/soft-shouldered jackets, I’ve never found a seam to seam measurement lacking.

That's gorgeous, did you have Isaia custom-make it? I don't think there are restrictions on vicuña, though @SpooPoker might know for sure. Market value...well, go back a few pages to see what a similar jacket recently sold for.

Yeah I’m not paying $180/year for GarageSale. It’s been nice but I’m out.

I haven’t even upgraded from GS6. But then, I only use it to create listings, I manage bookkeeping separately and don’t really need all the bells and whistles they’re hawking. Is there a non-pro upgrade price?

Yeah, but with a 50/month listing limit.

That’s kind of ******, but will work for me for now. If and when I go back to full time selling, I’lol think about it...
