It is pretty easy to tell if shoes have been worn outside by looking at the sole, but any pair of shoes you buy can easily have been tried on by lots of people.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-buying-shoes-on-ebay#post-1053893 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 01:10:40 +0000 Diana 1053893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, generally they are just like the tried on ones at the dept store like Mo says. &nbsp;If you are worried ask to see a photo of the soles. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-buying-shoes-on-ebay#post-1053867 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 00:12:07 +0000 Makrame 1053867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Mo, I had the same thought - after I tried the shoes on a few times and sent them back because they did not fit, are they any different from the eBay pair? &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Glad to hear you and Deborah had good experience. &nbsp;I found the shoes I like on eBay and I have some leftover Paypal credit so maybe I will take the plunge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-buying-shoes-on-ebay#post-1053863 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 00:09:04 +0000 Deborah 1053863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have bought brand new shoes from ebay from ebay stores.&nbsp; Quite reputable and no question they were brand new when they arrived.&nbsp; I have also bought quite a few pairs of shoes on line (all new) and have been very happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-buying-shoes-on-ebay#post-1053859 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 00:05:29 +0000 Mo 1053859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are as&nbsp;"new"&nbsp;as ones bought in a high end department&nbsp;store that you don't know if&nbsp;10 other people have tried on, didn't like, and they got put back in the box. &nbsp;Feel better? &nbsp;:) &nbsp;I have bought tons of shoes online and on eBay. &nbsp;No 'ick' yet. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-buying-shoes-on-ebay#post-1053856 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 00:01:08 +0000 Makrame 1053856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never bought shoes on Ebay (and don't normally buy shoes from consignment stores either, just because I don't find anything there). &nbsp;Maybe this is a silly question - if shoes are listed as new, do you trust the description? &nbsp;I guess if there arrive in the original box I can assume they are new, never worn. &nbsp;For some reason there is a slight "ick" factor for me in buying shoes that were worn by someone else (fungus etc.). &nbsp;What are your thoughts? </p>
