JEANS & PANTS MEASUREMENTS, MEASURING TO LIST OR BUY

HOW TO MEASURE JEANS AND PANTS TO BUY OR LIST ON eBAY


Measuring Guidelines
Jean sizing varies by designer. It is recommended you also review measurements.

Waist and hip measurements can vary, in the same size jeans, based on where the pants sit. (high-waisted to super-low rise). To compare a pair of pants on eBay to a pair you own, match the rise first. When you find a pair you own with the matching rise measurement, then compare the hip and waist measurements to see if the fit is the same. Lastly, check the inseam length to verify a correct fit.

Many designers and boutique lines are labeling the fit of their pants by a style name. Become familiar with the fit you like and the corresponding names for the designers you prefer. The usual differences are where the jeans fit in relation to the waist and hips (low rise, mid-rise), the hip and leg fit (straight, skinny, loose, relaxed) and the leg opening (Boot Cut, flare, tapered).


How to Measure
Rise: Start at the center seam where the legs meet. Measure the distance to the top of the waistband. Note the length to the bottom of the waistband and including the waistband.

Hips: Fold the pants over at the end of the zipper. Measure the back width at the fold. Double the measurement.

Inseam: Measure from where the legs meet to the end of the inside-pant leg.

Leg Opening: Is the bottom of the leg, measured across

Thigh: Measure and double the widest point of the thigh area of the leg.

Making more money on eBay

My brother is a plumber and he calls it 'laying pipe'. You can get distracted by revising your items, checking the number of watchers you have on auctions, organizing your store. However, the maintenance of your site should only occupy about 10 percent of your time. Adding new listings is what generates income. So stay focused and 'lay some pipe'.

What to Sell on eBay when you are first starting

What to sell on eBay:
When you are new to selling on eBay it is best to start with lower priced items that are easy to ship. If you have large items, collectbles, electronics, jewelry, or expensive items, it is better to hold off listing these items until you gain some experience in listing, selling, shipping, as well as building your feedback. You may want to wait to buy inventory until you gain some experience too.
One of the easiest items to sell is used clothing. The old adage is if you have not worn it in a year then you likely do not need it. You can clean out your closets to find some items to list.
We will be providing other posts on how to measure your clothing, how to describe it, categories to consider, shipping and other useful tips. Please check back.
