eBay Guide: Different Skirt Style Chart - Know the Proper Names for Better Listings



How many times have you gone to list a skirt and thought "I have no idea what this shape is technically called"? Happened to me almost every day in the beginning. When we are shopping in a brick and mortar store we shuffle through the racks and find what we think is cute. I don't know about you, but when I'm digging through racks the last think I'm thinking about is what the style is called. I'm digging in my purse to double check how much mad money I have left lol. Shopping online is a different animal. Your buyers are on the hunt and they know exactly what they want and what the correct terminology is. These charts are super helpful.
