Buying a dress on E-Bay?

There is a beautiful dress on there right now and I am tempted to bid on it. Its a Jim Hjelm dress and has never been worn or altered. The girl said she decided to have a very casual wedding in Hawaii and will not be wearing the dress.
Anyone bought from E-Bay?

Re: Buying a dress on E-Bay?

I haven't bought a dress per say but I have bought stuff there. the most important thing to bare in mind is the selller's feedback. if its 90% or better, than that's great.
Also communicate with her if you have any questions. I don't see why not.
Good luck.

Re: Buying a dress on E-Bay?

I've bought lots of things from Ebay. I agree with the previous poster...feedback is very important. Other than that I don't see any reason why not too.

Also, I prefer to pay with credit card just in case there is a discrepancy you can dispute the charge. (just in case) I never deal with cash or money order when purchasing. Another thought is... Does the seller live close by? Maybe you can go see the dress first? HTH. Good Luck

To me, so much of a dress was how it looked on. Did you try that style and size in a store? If yes, I would take a chance. If not, I would try to try it on in person first. Dresses I loved in pictures looked AWFUL on!

I saw your dress and posted on that board. But just so you know, I like your dress, but I would think twice about buying such an important item on eBay.

I found my dress at David's Bridal... but my FSIL found it from an ebay seller for $300 cheaper and with Swarovski (sp) crystals. I'll have it at the beginning of April and I'll post my final thoughts then
