Three things to decide before bidding or buying

All eBay search paths
01

Evidence to request

  • Pit-to-pit, shoulder, sleeve, and length measurements
  • Zipper, snaps, and lining photos
  • Collar, cuffs, and underarm wear
  • Brand and material tags
02

Red flags

  • Only the size tag is shown with no real measurements
  • Photos avoid the lining, cuffs, zipper, or collar
  • The seller mentions storage, smoke, or vintage smell without detail
03

Price rule

Compare against a returnable used or vintage jacket, then subtract for tailoring risk, cleaning, dry leather, zipper repair, and no-return terms.
