question about ebay
ok, I am not a big fan of e-bay first of all. I was looking on line today for a flower girl dress and found a great dress for my daughter on ebay. I was wondering if any of you ladies bought a dress off of ebay? I was looking at the feedback and a lot were from the same buyer and saying that everything was great, but one feedback stuck out to me. The said it was nice but the quality was not so good. I am nervouse about getting a dress that will barely make it thru the wedding day. Do you ladies have any words of wisdom for me?

can you send us the link so we can check out the feedback ect.
Things I look at. Their feedback...how many, %, if someone left feedback; was it reasonable, is that persons feedback normal ect
Also do they overcharge for shipping, do they offer insurance (if it is electronics or breakable) what is their return policy.
If they are an high volume seller, do they leave measurments for clothes. This tells me they want you to be happy with the fit and they have learned that people want this information!!!

I would feel safe and comfortable buying from this seller. They have a very high rating and are a high volume seller. They also have their policies and measurments listed.
Their shipping is high on the item, but the cost of the dress is low so it balances out.
Good luck!!!

I bought our flower girl's dress from eBay and it was lovely. She uses it now to play dress up which is fine by me. She's growing fast so I'm happy she can "play" with it instead of it sitting in a closet. I think I paid $60 for it including shipping.

I only buy clothing from ebay if I know the brand. I have to know the quality before I'll buy, and knowing the brand is a good indicator of quality AND size.
What size of FG dress do you need? My daughter was the FG at my sister's wedding. The dress was only worn once and is really nice. Let me know.

No I did not order the dress, I did find another web site that has flower girl dresses. I found cute dress and a head tiara for her, for under $100.00 (I think that included shipping). I am not sure how much bigger to get the dress. I should be ordering it soon. I will let you girls know.
