Ebay Find: Brand New Pampered Chef Dots Towel Set - Purple and Green

In summary, the consultant caught the seller selling "new" items that were not actually new. The consultant emailed the seller and received a response indicating that the items would be available to the general public in March and that the seller had a few of the items. The consultant turned in the seller to the HO and included her auction number.

Haha...Jennifer, I was being a little coy.

Actually, I DID (past tense!) sell a couple things BEFORE I found out we weren't allowed to as consultants. So I stopped when I found out. Mostly small items that were extras...:eek: Oops

Phew! I was going to have to label you a traitor! :)

It looks like she closed bidding on the item, with 0 bids listed. It hasn't been removed though.

He-he - on the hunt with one of my work IDs...I have to report listings on E-bay many times because people sell our work products using our image/text which is against E-bay VERO rules.

Here's what I sent...we'll see what answer I get...

"Awesome - didn't know Pampered Chef ever made a Trifle Bowl...do you have just one? If you have more than one can you combine S/H or do they have to ship individually? Thanks in advance for your help!"

Please do contact career solutions - I turned in another girl that we were talking about on another loop a while back - I actally emailed Jan Capinegro and she emailed me back and said she would forward it to the proper department - I think career solutions is the right place - that is breaking a rule that is in our contract when we become a consultant - she should be fired. Those items should not be even available for the public to see til the catalog comes out. Shame on her!

It could potentially be on the up and up WARRANTY-WISE if she is adding it onto a show under the winning bidder's name.

oooooh thats pretty clever!!!!!!!!
 
  • #81
It's a never ending cycleThere are hundreds of PC items being sold. A consultant can even get a friend or family member to sell it for them. As long as it is not under their email, address or home phone I think they can get away with it.
I wish eBay would step in and help with this but I guess they have millions of sellers and can't step in to check everyone out.
I will keep my eye on them and let you know if I find anyone. It's pretty supsicous when they know what is going to be discontinued.

Happy hunting.

Debbie :D
 
  • #82
Debbie - you have a point... It isn't against anyone's rules for "Jane Doe" who attended a PC show 2 years ago and bought something she isn't using to sell it on E-bay with her used kids clothes, just as she would at a rummage sale. If they are falsely claiming a warranty, it should be corrected, and like someone said, all the people sneaking stuff to a family member or friend is just bad ethics on their part. It's hard for any group to police PC items much less all the other actually illegal stuff that gets up on E-bay.
 
  • #83
That link in post #76 - isn't that a PC picture? Now if so, PC could if they had a VERO account, report that listing as violating use of imagery.

Oh Gillian....seems like you know TOO MUCH on how to get around the rules...Maybe YOU are an ebayer incognito and just trying to throw us off your track! LOL

BTW I am sorry you got bashed on another thread for not an accusatory statement but more of an inquisitive one. (At least that's how it came across to me). Valky

I think I am going to go on some PC Rouge Consultant hunting! ;)
 
  • #86
I think it is a really hard call. I have to admit that I have sold a few things on Ebay, because I really did not know the rules. My director never told me and I am really bad at reading the fine print. Once I learned that you cannot sell things this way, I stopped doing it. Perhaps it would be better just to "spread the word" about the rules and let her know about the appropriate places to sell stuff. I think we all need to work together and not point fingers and get people in trouble unnecessarily.

You caught me Valky, LMAO!! I wish I was smart enough to figure that stuff out!! I have sold baby clothes and DVD's, but never any PC stuff...like I would let anything go, LOL!

Thank you for the support! Anyone who has read the thread will see the it was said more jokingly than anything, definetly not accusing anyone of anything. I did say it and need to accept the consequences, but I do think the whole thing was blown out of proportion...

None the less, the post was more than harsh. A person can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Valky

As soon as I saw this post earlier today I emailed the girl and nicely told her what she was doing was against the rules. Hate to burst your bubbles but that is when she withdrew her listing. She emailed me and thanked me for doing it in a nice way instead of the ugly emails that she had received and pulled the listing. I think everyone jumped to conclusions and was ready to hang this girl. Maybe she was doing it and knew the rules. Maybe not. In the beginning of my carreer I sold stuff as well. Nope, didn't read the rules that diligently like some of you have. When I did become aware I stopped. I don't know if this was the case with her or not but atleast I gave her the benefit of doubt.
 
  • #93
Well that ms tiff chick is only about 45 minutes to an hour away from me, that just really irks me! Like I don't have a hard enough time just getting shows booked, she's gonna be selling online!
 
  • #94
Do you know her? Her website had her phone number if that tells you anything about where exactly she is... I know the eBay thing isn't always where they really live.
 
  • #95
Well when I looked on the website you all posted I noticed the area code and knew it was Oklahoma, then I looked at the ebay listing and it said the town, so I knew where that little town it too. Don't know anyone there, and don't really know anything about the town, it's just one of the towns we whiz through going to the teeny non-mall, and we don't go there too much any more so I really wouldn't know the person. But there are a couple of higher level PC people really close to her so I would assume that she would probably be in one of their lines.
 
  • #96
We have a teeny non-mall too! It is in my town though at least!
 
  • #97
Well now days it has a sears, jcpenney's, and got a new goody's I think that's what it was, a hallmark, and a couple other national mall brand shops, but other than that there is one 'store' that has baseball card collector shop, another that is crafts, and stuff like that, it is going downhill.
 
  • #98
Our "mall" is getting knocked down to build the first Target in the state! Right now it has a Waldenbooks, Gottchalks, Claire's, Foot Locker, Zales, Christian Book Store and travel agency. No, I didn't leave any out!! We have a stand-alone Sears in my town and a Walmart, but no Pennys or Goodys!
