Is ebay really that bad to buy from when it comes to Gothic lolita clothing?

Every Lolita item I've gotten from Ebay has had something wrong with it. I don’t remember what shop it is, but one of them just hot glues the clothes together! I’m sure that if you bought every single Lolita item on Ebay, you’ll come across a good deal, but most of it will be complete rip offs. They may be cheap, but they REALLY are not worth their price.

This site has just about every Lolita clothing link possible. I put the page of links where you can order without an ordering service. (Not websites that only ship to Japan.)

If you are a beginning Lolita or are really low on money, I suggest you buy non brand name when you are still discovering your style. For example, if you want a skirt from the Japanese brand name Angelic Pretty, get a similar one from a less expensive non brand like La Dauphine.

Making your clothes is another good alternative. I'm low on money, so I make most of my clothes, which works well, actually, because I like coming up with my own designs.

I hope this helps and I wish you the best!
