RE: Help with ebay issue?
I'd certainly e-mail the seller precisely for the reasons you stated, it might not bother you but would be a deal breaker for someone else. I recently received a pair of 4T pants which were supposed to be 3T. I was a little bit disappointed as DS needs pants for fall and I took advantage of our visit to the States to buy a few things on eBay for the upcoming cold weather for him. The seller responded immediately offering to take the pants back and refund money, explaining that she is pregnant with two kids and they are building a house so everything is a mess. While I can't verify the seller's personal situation her attitude was 'on the money' and I left positive feedback for her and decided to keep the pants hoping they'd fit in spring or next fall.
