    I was just looking at ebay for clothes, mainly boxers. And there seems to some great deals there.
    Has anyone bought clothes from ebay?
    I was looking at some abercrombie and fitch polo shirts for like €30 and they're nealry €90 in the shops here!!

    What do you think?
    I think i might buy some boxers and polo's - easy to get the sizing right.
    I dont think id go for jeans as they're kind of a thing you'd need to try on first.

    Yea or nea anyone?

    I've bought plenty of stuff off of eBay for the missus and never really had any size issue's. Just make sure it's a reputeable seller so you don't get ripped off with fakes etc.

    I've bought quite a few bits and pieces of clothing off e-bay. Not had a problem so far.

    I've had mixed experiences with clothing on ebay, make sure you check the feed back do not trust the seller location and item location, one example i have is where both the seller and item where listed as UK , 3weeks later i got a lovely tshirt from thailand, needless to say it was fake but at least the size was correct.

    Avoid goods from thailand at all costs.

    On the flip side i have also got stuff from sellers in the US one in paticualler who i have got 4 shirts from ships in 4 days to ireland from the US .

    SO i've had good and bad experiences with it, main thing is to use some common sense, and if you in doubt on size mail the seller nad ask about size and their return policy.

    I made my first online clothes purchase this week on eBay. Bought 3 different A&F polo shirts from 3 different sellers. To be honest I'm not expecting genuine merchandise with the price I paid but will be plesantly surprised if they are real or that they last more than a few months if fake. Will let you know next week.

    Bought tees, shoes and hats off ebay. Worked very well.
    Mind, a pair of jeans I got was too tight, by a little. I bought them without properly measuring myself so it wasn't the sellers fault.

    one i buy from quite often is 4alexander2
    no the cheapest but deinately cheaper than buying in store here,
    got some nice element stuff from them.

    The stuff is 100% original 0% fake
    and delivery time is unbelievably fast - 4 days from the US !!!!!!!
    and thats not just a fluke is consistant and has also been stated by
    several irish users in the feedback. Also this seller is very quick to reply to
    email queries regards sizing etc.
