Can You Buy Pampered Chef Products on Ebay?

Click For Summary
The discussion highlights the ongoing issue of Pampered Chef consultants selling products on eBay, which violates company policies. Participants express frustration over new consultants unaware of these rules, while others emphasize the need for stricter enforcement from the Home Office (HO) to deter such practices. Several individuals have reported offending listings to HO, noting that many consultants either ignore the policies or attempt to circumvent them by selling items meant for personal use or promotional gifts. Concerns are raised about how these sales undermine legitimate consultants' efforts, as customers often purchase items without realizing they lack warranties when bought outside official channels. Some suggest potential penalties, like commission reductions for violators, to discourage rule-breaking. Overall, the conversation reveals a strong desire for accountability among consultants and better protection of the brand's integrity.
I have been on ebay a lot looking for people that sell there. I send an email with at least 5 people selling. I usually just email it to career-solutions. I will have to make a note of Richard's email. I have sent it at least 30 or so names by now. I usually don't send in names with 1 or 2 items since it could be someone who bought them and didn't want them or people who state they are out of the business but if they have like 10 or more items all new I will email PC about it. I have already seen s/s 2008 items on there. Now that is crazy.
 
Can't resistI usually don't add the fire on these ones...but I can't resist!

Ok, I have seen many items on Ebay over the past 5 years...but was shocked at one I found this year. I didn't even have my Director's Christmas gift yet when I was told about one for sale on Ebay!!! I of course, could not NOT look! So I knew what I was getting before I got it :cry: (and this never happens, as it is hush hush). I couldn't believe that someone would sell their Christmas Gift on Ebay even before the holiday!! The saddest thing is that I know it was an upper level Director who definately knew better!! :grumpy: And she didn't even try to hide her identity, her ebay name has her first name in it which is not a common name and she lives in Alaska...hmmmmm... things that make you go hmmmmm....

That's one of the things that drives me nuts - items that are special to a consultant that you can only earn if you are a consultant. I posted before about a host who bragged about getting cookware on Ebay at a really cheap price for her daughter and now her daughter had better cookware than she did. Well, it was around the time of the cookware special so I pointed out that by hosting a show, she could get it even cheaper and with the warranty. She booked a show and then while I was getting ready for her show, I got some of the cool whip on my shirt and she said "I should have let you use my PC apron. I got that on ebay too!". :grumpy:

I don't like it either that consultants sell special consultant only awards on Ebay........but until just a few years ago, the apron was in the catalog for customers to purchase - in both adult and child sizes.....so most probably wouldn't consider that so special....and it could have been a customer selling it too.

...and also, if they were a kit napper in the past, they could care less about reading the policies. They should be "blacklisted" then...just another random thought...
