Found bra for sale in a size that isn't listed in bratabase
The title says it all basically.
I have a Freya Deco Moulded Plunge (4234) in 34GG that fits well enough (save for my asymmetry and lack of fullness makes one fall and/or spill out). But the band is super stretchy and I can clasp it on the tightest hooks quite easily. So when I came across a 32H on eBay I thought I'd snatch it on up. *After* buying it, I thought I'd check the measurements here. There isn't a 32H. The size range shows that 32 stops at GG or G. 34 doesn't even go to H.
Does this mean it was listed wrong? Is a fake or a scam? Or is it possible that they once made that size and have since stopped (it is a continuity color so it could be older, but listed NWT). I think I'll email the seller and confirm that that is the UK size and that they didn't convert a UK FF to a US H. If that's the case and it's legal to, I'll mark return to sender without opening (I'd def. check with my post office before doing this to be sure). I'm REALLY kicking myself for not doing this before buying! It was a really good deal though. *facepalm*

Yes, this is an FF bra. Recently Freya decided it was a good idea to change their sizing scheme, they now use a different cup system for US sizes, so new bras will say UK: FF and US: H.
You can see that other sizing ideas they had the past here:

Index sizes, Index sizes! This is a 32:8 when you wanted a 32:11
:S daggummit. lol I was so looking forward to mail delivery tomorrow afternoon.
I did email to ask which size it really was. I was told that the color is in the pictures, which I didn't even ask about, and "it is a 32 H US. Is this accrptable?"
Nope. Now I'm going to see if the seller will take a return as an exception, since they have a no return policy.
The seller said that she would check another bra when she got home, though I'm not really sure what she meant or why. I should've asked before paying though, which I know, and it's their stated policy, so if she doesn't refund I'll just resell it clearly stated and hopefully only lose out on some shipping.
I checked the one I already own, and sure enough, it's sized what I'd consider oddly also. UK 34GG & US 34GG. So is my current one in the way that they now size them, and the 32H a previous sizing method?
I also ordered two other Freya's last week (that do run past GG) in an unmoulded style from a store that's in the UK. I'll be sending one back regardless (ordered two sizes because I was unsure which would be the better fit), and now I'm REALLY hoping they're actually the UK cup sizes. Surely they are though, being in the UK.
