Would you be bothered if you ordered an item of clothing on eBay that hadn't been ironed before being sent to you?

Even if the item was exactly as described and freshly laundered?

I got a pair of jeans last week that hadn't even been washed, they still had a folded tissue in the front right pocket :-/

No, wouldn't bother me at all.
Well.. the definition of laundered is actually washed AND ironed....as to whether I would be bothered?...might be a tad annoyed but wouldn't do any thing about it..just get the iron out..
I don't think I'd be over-fazed - I iron things before I mail them, but they inevitably get creased in the post.

I'm planning on selling a pile of old baby clothes, and gave up the evil habit of ironing about 8 years ago.

Just wondered if I need to invest in an iron to sell the stuff!
You could always do what I do if I'm selling brass or silver which isn't in its prime and say "likely to crease in the post" (I say "could do with regularly cleaning")

Bleah, I'd rate that down, daffy

That is revolting, daffy!

I might just state in the description that the clothes will be washed but not ironed.
i would expect anyone buying clothing from bay woud actually want to launder it themselves on reciept and so whether the seller ironed it or not would make no difference
I was slightly peeved when I bought a jigsaw puzzle and one piece was missing but I didn't do anything about it. It was advertised as complete and I do not like being lied to so I think if it has been honestly described I would just accept it.
I wash items immediately anyway if I buy from Ebay but I couldn't buy secondhand jeans - fair turns my stomach :(
