Okay. I have a really big question that has been confusing me. When I signed up to be a consultant my director said that Pampered Chef did NOT allow selling on eBay by Pampered Chef Consultants and what not. However, when going on eBay you can find a TON of people out there selling exactly what we are at much lesser of prices than we are as well. Not only can you find retired items, but NEW items as well.

How does everyone else deal with this?
 
I just ignore it I guess! I can't say I've ever heard my customers talking about how they can get things cheaper there. The thing you can point out if they ask you is, when they buy on ebay they aren't getting PC's warranty. All our products are warrantied for at least a year; if something breaks, they'll replace it. That won't happen if they bought it there.
We aren't supposed to sell on ebay. You want to think that the people that do aren't consultants, or or former consultants maybe; but I'm sure some are breaking the rules. I am actually surprised....a lot of things I've seen there are actually more in price than if they'd buy it from us. I saw 3 Seasons Best cookbooks for $9.95 the other day! Plus $6 shipping!

Well the thing is, is that when the DBS was on stop sell there were many people who said. Well I can check eBay then. I told them that usually what sells on eBay is like retired stuff, and stuff that is used... Nope, we all found everything BRAND NEW on there. The DBS's auction was started at .99 + 4 for shipping. :( I was like, are you kidding me!? lol. Thank god that is over so I can try to get all those people back with that warranty. :D
**Just irratating is all*
