/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Want to buy a cosplay of a vtuber you enjoy
>Actually find a shop on taobao with a ton of cosplays for different characters, including a perfect alternate outfit you did not expect to find there
>Ask shopping service to get in touch with shop in question
>Shop says no problem, can even custom size everything to your size
>Woa, this is perfect
>Give them all the size numbers
>Just need to pay and let them order
>Still feel a bit hesitant and postpone the order for another time

>Two months later, work pays out huge christmas bonus
>Hell yeah, time to order some stuff
>Put listing of same cosplay back into shopping cart, literally just copy what I already had before
>"Sorry anon, shop says they don't do custom sizing and costume is only available in female sizes. Are you sure the gender you put into the field is correct?"
>w-what
>Ask SS again with reference to the old request from just a few weeks ago
>Still same answer
>Check the listing myself
>They removed all custom size options and the full set option's description was changed, now explicitly mentions it's a "women's full set"

Anons, my feeling are all over the place. A bit angry, confused, but mostly just sad. All I wanted to do was buy some cute shoes and a nice kimono and they gave me the middle finger instead. Has anyone else, who's buying from Chinese sources, had a similar experience in more recent times? Are the shop owners shitting their pants, because of Winnie Pooh's crackdown on feminine men?
