Now I get it.
Lately I've been selling bras on Ebay. Mostly because they're not very high quality, a lot from stores that cost me about $10(think Wal Mart and Target). Some VS.
Mostly 34A-36B's.
I do have two bras listed here; a VS, and a Vera Wang. So nothing great, but I'd rather post something with a bit more quality here, so I've turned, once again, to Ebay.
Now, I dislike Ebay for various reasons. Really, it's mostly selling there, because Ebay has absolutely no protection for sellers. I've sold in the past and you can't even give buyers negative feedback anymore, which is ridiculous.
It's also almost impossible to find a working customer service number.
I sold an item last year and my buyer wanted a refund, and then told me that she threw the item away when she was obviously supposed to send it back. Basically, the item was perfect when I sent it, and I didn't buy into any of her crap, but decided to refund it and she claimed that she didn't send it back because it was thrown out. I contacted Ebay and wasn't able to get my money, report her, or even give her a measly bit of negative feedback.
Now that I'm selling all of my old bras that probably never fit, I'm finding a lot of men buying and bidding. The thought crosses my mind that they could be for girlfriends, wives, maybe daughters using their father's accounts, or maybe even someone transitioning or wanting to transition.
But then I think, probably not. I realize the internet is full of creeps. I don't know if anyone else is this way, but I'm very sentimental, even about my bras, and I really hope they're going to people who need them and not pervs.
I don't care about the $10 ones; I'm not selling them for much at all and they give me bad memories of when I gained a lot of weight. That's why I only spent $10- I will never accept or settle with a weight gain.
The old VS ones though, they were expensive and I remember every trip I made for them, and overall I still love them, I just realize they don't fit and likely never did. I'm a sucker for pretty/feminine things.
In some way it would give me satisfaction to take money from creeps (is that wrong?) but deep down, it makes me feel a little ill.
Recently I found out my own brother was basically panty pimping his gf on Craigslist. They were selling her underwear and she'd meet the guys in bathrooms. The world is so messed up, I just want to dig a hole and hide with my coloring books and pretty things forever.

I guess I've had a very different experience on ebay. They've protected me as both a buyer and a seller many times, and through their new automated return system i don't have to refund anyone until i get the package back.
I do get a lot of male buyers too. I figure a lot of them are older wives who use their husband's account, like my mom does, cause i sell a lot of 30 bands and i can't imagine there's many men out there that would fit into that. But hey, anyway, not every man who wears bras is a creep D: i think it's very different than the people who buy used underwear for sexual pleasure, but hey, those people aren't hurting anybody anyway (unless you're selling someone else's without their permission.) i hear it's an easy way to make a bunch of money too lol.
My husband buys me bras on ebay all the time, so It's definitely possible that these men could be doing the same. But I did discover recently that there is a whole world of fetish where men buy used/worn bras and underwear. I've seen cheap bras on ebay sell for much more than they are worth, and I see the item description has pictures of a woman(I presume the seller) wearing the bras. I'm not a judgmental person, so I'm not going to berate these men for their fetish, but it is a "thing", and I the more I thought about it, I realized that when I sell bras on ebay, I should probably take some steps to ensure my security. I don't like the idea of some random guy buying my bra and knowing my address. I haven't sold on ebay for a while, but I'm seriously considering using a PO box the next time I do.
