Knickers?

[pinkbarbie23]

I'm guessing Knickers are what the UK call Panties, which is cute and fine but when I am going to list panties for sale the US have completely different sizes so I really have no idea how to list them here. Is there any way just to have a category called Women's Panties (Or Knickers) and then have a sizing menu to choose from including XS, S, M, L, XL? That way there wouldn't be too many categories to list and scavenger through. Easier for the buyer as well.

Is this something like what you were meaning?

S, M, L etc I personally would not like - being used to the dimensions as in the screenshot which tend to be a more realistic idea of sizing for me.
Depending on maker S can be M lol!!! and vice versa. This way the sizing is much more specific & likely to fit .....
I didn't feel I had to scavenge in any way - and every size appears to be covered.

There's a difference bc you are from the UK and I guess your (knickers) are sized like that. In the US if we are shopping at Victoria's Secret, we buy in XS, S etc. sizes and that's what's on the tag. I don't know the sizes and therefore if I put the wrong equivalent the person could say I was lying. I think the US sizes should be put up there as well.

Shows common sizes using numbers, not small, medium etc.

The problem with sizing is international.

Each country has their own equivalent, so if you want USA sizes added, then Mainland Europe will want their equivalent as well. If this were to happen, then the category list will get flooded.

IMHO it is best to go along with the UK version, choose the category, and add the size in your title USA12XL and also in your description. You could also add a note with a link to an online conversion chart such as:

International Conversion (women)

International Conversion (men)
http://www.onlineconversion.com/clothing_mens.htm

Hope this helps.

I've just found this chart (google) -

Are you meaning you would prefer the upper chart or the lower one with S, M or L?

OMG!! I just want XS, S, M, L, and XL added to the sizing picks. I'm selling items from the US I'm not going to break down every little thing. That's what size they are on the labels. If people don't want to bid on items that say S, M or L then so be it, but it the label says a size I'm not listing it as anything other than that.

Seems to me you were given some good advice from both the USA and the UK.
