"I'm sorry I had to take the bowl off auction, I found a chip on the bottom that I didn't see before."

She did respond - just didn't come into my e-mail...
 
Sounds like she knew she was caught!!

You got us on a roll! (Like I have nothing better that I should be doing!) Okay, I want a Crime Stopper's Star now..... Wouldn't that be fun....
 
Wow, I feel like I've been gone for a year!! LOL

It always seems to happen when we get our new products and then we see it on Ebay before it goes public!!!


Good work guys!!:D

You guys are too funny!!
 
I wonder if we report those to ebay....the warantee is NOT valid..and this person keeps posting on all of their stuff that it is...falty advertising!
 
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!!!!!!!!
 
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
 
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.
 
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! ;)
 
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...
 
I think I am missing something? What thread are all you talking about??

We still love you Gillian;) . Stuff happens and well, we just have to move on. You already made your retraction and apology....bless and release as the saying goes.
 
The original eBay thread... I made a joke about a fellow poster selling new products on eBay and chaos insued...
