Man, the old style is going for $66ish and the new ones are up for $25-36 or something! I wanted one but not enough to pay that much! Wish they had them on order supply!:(
 
That makes me so mad! The new ones, not the old (since those people may have quit PC).
 
That's just INSANE!!!
 
I wish I earned the apron but no way am I going to pay that much for one!
 
If the new aprons are on there, then the consultant is still active. I have lost a consultant this month because she was caught twice for selling on E Bay and they cancelled her contract. They have to learn that they are serious about not selling items on line. It's a tough way, but they did warn her the first time. I think she sold alot of stuff from what someone told me.

I am sorry you lost someone from your team but I think it's GREAT that HO is on top of this. Again though, I am sorry you lost someone from your team :(

Donna, I hate to hear that that happened to you, but I'm happy to hear Pampered Chef took the action they did! I figured all they got was a slap on the hand!
 
Nice to hear that they do take action on repeat offenders. Sorry about losing a consultant Donna.
 
Why can't we sell consultant items on eBay? I thought we only couldn't sell products, past or present? I never have sold anything PC (consultant or product) but I don't see why consultant items can't be on eBay...
 
Actually, I reread the contract we all signed just today as I was gathering some stuff for someone I am working on as a recruit. It says we won't resell any PC products...
 
Is a consultant only apron really a product though? That is my question...
 
I guess that would be an argument - it technically is a "company product" just not in a catalog... ...it would even throw us a loop on here... Don't know the answer to that one...

I will promote and sell Company products to customers by regularly holding Cooking Shows. I will not sell Company products on the Internet or in any public, retail or service establishments. I will not sell Company products for resale. I will present Company products in a truthful, sincere and honest manner, and I will conduct myself in a manner that reflects the highest standards of integrity and responsibility in keeping with the reputation of the Company.

WOW! A RARE item!! Probably so rare because we can't sell them yet you &%$$##!!!
 
I guess it's time to pull out Richard's e-mail again????
 
"Due to my email spam settings, please contact me through ebay only (through the item) if you have problems or questions."

Translation: Due to my e-mail possibly giving me away, please contact me through E-bay...
 
$20 for a mini measure-all cup??????? WHAT?????????????
 
Has anyone reported these?
 
WTH, who pays these kind of prices!! I can't believe it:eek:
 
I just send an E-mail on Donna (tupperwareglobal) because she has MANY, MANY PC E-bay sales...
 
She got under my skin after reading her about me page and seeing 50+ items listed including ones I didn't earn because I was honest with my business...GRRR....
 
I didn't send them in...
 
The products that people buy from sellers rather than consultants is what bothers me...

Is it ok to buy supplies from ebay? Right as I signed up I bought a lot supply of PC stuff to get prepared to sell but haven't bought anything since?? And since I have a bunch of supplies I need to get rid of and couldn't on market place I thought about ebay?
 
I personally don't see anything wrong with buying and selling consultant only items on eBay. I actually think it is a great way for consultants going out/in to both get a deal.

What angers me about eBay is when I lose a customer/sale to a (sometimes!) lower price on eBay or a product that isn't available yet.
 
She sells tupperware and PC. I see that she has the Pink bowls up. When you click on her "me" profile, this is what she says:

Hey there ! I'm glad you are getting to know me. I'm a salesperson in the real world and figured I'd try cyberspace. I know the value of a hard earned dollar and getting the most for your buck. Please keep me as a favorite to see what I continue to add.

Welcome to my store. I carry a variety of items for your home. Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Home Interiors, Floral Designs and Hand Crafts, Gardening Accents, Etc. All store items are brand new never used, but I will post some gently used items at times in my auctions. Thanks for your interest!

Me too! But since they don't what I did was bought a white apron at the
5 & 10 for $3.98 and dyed it pink, hoping that will at least be a reminder to me to talk about HWC & maybe raise some questions from guests.

LOL! That is EXACTLY what I thought!! I'm sure she thinks she's being slick but I really hope someone at HO catches her. IF this is the first time she is caught, I hope they skip the warning stage and straight out drop her as a consultant. She clearly knows what's she's doing...and that it's wrong!
