Kate Moss clothes range hits eBay after British launch

Fashion fans lining up at shops around Britain Tuesday to snap up items from supermodel Kate Moss's clothing range for Topshop might have been better off looking online, where coveted items were already on sale.

With 45-pound (66-euro, 90-dollar) floral dresses now attracting bids of up to 150 pounds on internet auction site eBay, it seems that shoppers have either tired of their purchases already -- or that the pre-sale was targeted by traders.
Even the free goodie bags which were handed out to those in the queue, some of whom waited for up to eight hours, were being auctioned online.
Topshop tried to crack down on people buying items simply in order to sell them over the Internet by limiting to five the number of pieces each shopper was allowed to buy.
While the huge crowds of Monday night's event in Oxford Street, when Moss posed alongside mannequins in a shop window, were not replicated Tuesday, there were still hundreds of people thronging the store.
The much-hyped range, which Moss helped to design, features pieces costing between 10 and 200 pounds and will also go on sale at Barneys in the United States, Colette in Paris and Corso Como in Milan, Italy.
