Recently I been noticing a rash of miss measured hello Kitty plush on eBay.  Often the seller over estimated the height of the item, for example recently bought an 18 inch hello kitty plush listed as a 25 inch plush.  The problem is the measure was not the actual height from bottom to head. 

The actual height of any Sanrio plush can be accurately measured if the following guidelines are followed: if the plush is in a sitting position with legs out in front, measure the plush in the sitting position; likewise if the plush is in a stand position legs is underneath the body then measure for the standing position.  Second measure the plash from ground (bottom across the nose to top of the head.  Please see the picture below. I came up of the measurements by measuring my Sanrio plushes in my collection listed on Sanrio’s web retail site.

It is very important to proved an accurate measurement o protect one reputation, avoid returns and chargeback and fraud charges especially when Sanrio sell a both an 18in and 24in of the same plush . For the buyer   the buyer needs to beware before purchasing on EBay or used online. Ask for the sitting position measurements before buying.
