the BBC» Depop seller's crop top made from Chiltern Railways train seat cover 'violates terms'
A fashion student has been warned not to sell prohibited items on the clothes app, Depop, after she posted an advert for a top made from a train seat cover.
Mhari Thurston-Tyler made the bandeau out of a Chiltern Railways seat cover designed to promote social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 20-year-old sold the top for GBP-15 but later refunded her customer and took the advert down.
Depop said the item "clearly violates our terms of service".
The app for buying and selling second-hand clothes said the sale of stolen goods was banned - but Ms Thurston-Tyler denied stealing.
She told BBC News she found two of the blue seat covers "balled up on the floor" outside Marylebone station in London in September.
