Okay, weird question here. I have a consultant in my downline who was reported to be selling stuff on craigslist. I found the listing and she is giving it away free - is that against the rules?
 
That's a good question. We're not allowed to sell (as you know), but one could argue that giving things away, while not selling, is a form of advertising.

Were you notified by HO? If they contacted you about it, then I would say that is is against the rules. If the source of the report was someone else, then maybe you should call Career Solutions and ask.

I got an email from HO, so I called the consultant (left a message) and called HO and talked with the person who emailed me. She said someone had reported it - I asked for a link and she couldn't give me one. I'm wondering if someone just gave her name and phone number for spite. The listing very clearly says free to a good home! The person in Career Solutions is looking into something else for me, too, so she will call me back soon.
