I love eBay and got a jacket which came today.....here is the rub----NO  POCKETS!!!!! Did your ever experience this and why I ask, would a  jacket NOT HAVE POCKETS.  Never ever would have dreamed this would happen--I did write back and they don't consider this a defect!!!  Who wants a coat with no pockets and  this was NOT IN THE DESCRPTION!!!

Next time you'll remember to ask about pockets, especially if it's not mentioned in the description.  It's true, it's not a defect.  QVC sold a very popular suede jacket that had no pockets.

A buyer doesn't have to say what a clothing item DOESN'T have in a listing.  You just describe the item as it is.  If not described in the listing, it is up to the buyer to ask questions.

i will buy coats and sweaters with no pockets. i hate pants with pockets (except for jeans). i dont put items in pockets because i dont need a bulky look. i always have a purse.

i read the descriptions and if it doesnt say pockets, then i assume that the garment doesnt have them. if i am in question, i ask a question.

So there were no pix for you to carefully check? Did you ask questions before buying? I don't use pockets so I would not care, but I would ask about any such features that are important to me. Doesn't sound as if the seller did anything wrong at all since pockets are not required and, thus, the jacket was not defective.

@libbyannE  The buyer should certainly have asked.  But that said, I can see pockets not showing up on photos if the jacket was black.

I'm with you - would just expect pockets.  Not your fault and I wouldn't expect the seller to stress w/pockets.  Buttons - do you have to ask that too?

Send it back.........................you'll always hate it.

@RINGER  If the listing said it had pockets, then you would have a case.....or if you asked the seller directly it the coat had pockets and the seller told you YES....THEN  you would have a case.  But if no pockets were mentioned  the discription of the jacket...and the picture of the jacket showed no pockets....then there you go.....you are out of luck.

I would suppose if the picture of the jacket showed pockets you might have a case....did it?

I agree with the OP, that I would never think of a coat without pockets.  Over the years buying on Ebay, I have learned a lesson.  You need to look at pictures carefully and ask questions.  However, I wouldn't think to ask about pockets but I will so now

If pockets were important to me - I would need to know

slit pockets or full pockets

with or w/o zippers to close pockets
