What measurements do I need to know to buy a sport jacket on ebay?

I know my shirt measurements (15.5/32 i think) and seem to fit anywhere between a 39r and 42r on OTR stuff, but haven’t gotten into ebay jackets because there are so many elements of fit that are hard to get right. What other measurements should I take on myself? What should I look for?

Most jackets you'll come across will list shoulders, chest, and length. Couldnt hurt to know your sleeve length as well. Ignore the chart, just the measurement example I don't think I've personally seen waist or bottom width ever listed anywhere

is sleeve length the same as what your shirt sleeve length is? oh, wait -- clearly not
