What records should I keep for a secondhand purchase?
Keep the listing details and the seller's answers relevant to condition, measurements and included items. Use the marketplace's current supported process for any issue.
A practical way to check
Save the exact variation, actual-item photos and written clarifications. Check the platform's current guidance before the listing disappears.
What can lead you astray?
A memory of a conversation may miss important wording. Moving payment or communication outside supported channels can also remove useful records and processes.
Put the answer in context
Ask about this specific item rather than relying on the brand’s original description. Previous wear, repairs and alterations can change its dimensions and condition. Keep the seller’s written answers and use the marketplace’s supported payment and communication routes.
Read the related guide for the broader decision. If you use a generated clothing preview, compare it with the original product photo and read what a preview can establish.

Frequently asked questions
Can the original retail size chart establish the current fit?
Not reliably. Washing, wear and alterations may have changed the item. Ask for current garment measurements using a clear method.
Can an AI image verify condition or authenticity?
No. Ask for actual photographs and relevant evidence. Generated details cannot establish wear, construction or authenticity.
