I saw a shirt on ebay listed as a size 1X , I usually wear a man's size XL shirt

Was it for a man's shirt, or unisex?

1X usually connotates a woman's plus size in U.S. sizing. It goes up from there - 2X, 3X. Probably to soften the blow to women having to buy a larger size as it looks better on the tag than XXL or XXXL.
