But it's your responsibility and legal obligation to READ everything on a contract before you sign it. You can't blame the director for that - YOU signed the contract - YOU should have read the fine print. I don't mean to sound harsh but these people selling on Ebay are only hurting US and I work DAMN hard at this job and resent like hell that people weasel around on Ebay.

You can be as harsh as you want, I never signed anything!! She talked to me over the phone and put it through on line. Please re-read what I said!! I'm not saying it's OK, and no I'm not weaseling around anything!! Thanks though

yes I can get more.... I am a Pampered Chef consultant and they will be available for sale in March when the new catalog starts. Shall I send you a catalog and you can look at the towels? They have other towels in artichoke and lilac also-- that are microfiber solid towels. I received them for selling a certain amount of merchandise in December 2006.

I don't know if this all came thru, but I received this email today. Don't know why, I didn't email her. Love the " I am a consultant" part
 
If she is going to be so bold as to email you and tell you she's a consultant REPORT HER BUTT!!
 
Ask her if she has a website and then you will have her name and e-mail and consultant #!!
 
What is with these consultants? If their directors don't catch them, we will.
Don't ALL legitimate direct sales companies (DSA members) have the "NO EBAY" policy.
I say NO MERCY!
We may never know what HO actually does to these people, but we know what we have contributed.

LOL - cuz it's the issue that never dies. New consultants are always signing on and need to learn the rules. So it is always an issue. Then you get the directors who simply choose not to obey the rules...they are the most fun to turn it (in my opinion). Just keep reporting them to HO ladies...

Carol, you definitely need to forward this to HO. If she's that bold as to state that she is a consultant in response to queries, then she really needs to be informed. Unfortunately, some consultants don't believe other consultants, and they need to hear it from HO.

I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt (I'm feeling nice today:p ) and I sent her a message from her listing this morning to politely inform her that this was a BIG PC no-no and that consultants were not allowed to sell on ebay (or other forums) and that I assumed she was a consultant as this was an item not yet available to the general public. Well, I haven't heard anything back from her (of course) and I would think that by now she would have received the message. Probably time to report her a$$!:)
 
Hey, I just checked it and it's gone. Her other stuff is still out there, but looks as though she pulled this one. I thought I remembered it having a couple of days remaining on the listing....
 
Way to go Linda- cleaning up the mean street of eBay, one offender at a time!!

I'm learning from you! ;)
 
I think HO is tired of hearing from me!
 
Except...she pulled one listing only...some people are conscientious and will comply when "caught" if they truly did not know the rules - others will wait and try again....

The funny thing is I didn't ask the question. This came to me totally unsolicitied. Don't know how she got my email address.

I did send it to HO.

I emailed her as well LOL. She must wonder how many consultants she was going to hear from :)

This thread will just never end! This lady said that she is retiring, and is selling a bunch of her S/S products...so I messaged her and that we would have appreciated it if she had waited until the products are available to the general public on March 1, and that we are trying to build our businesses and still have a lot of Feb to book, and we are using the new products to try and book for March.. (book to look) ...we'll see if she says anything back... Here are the items she is selling...

If you get her web site address, forward the whole thing on to

[email protected]

Her website, her ebay seller id, the listing.

I am getting tired of seeing products that are not even available on Ebay.
 
Will do... can I ask who Richard is? I've never seen a specific email account before!!
 
So this was the response to my message to her..By my selling them now it benefits both current consultants and customers. I already have 4 people watching this particular item, but only one person will win it. That means the other people may be contacting their local consultant to buy it if they loose the auction. On the consultant side, this gives other consultants a chance to buy a new product without having to buy a whole package. You can show it at shows now and get people excited to book for March. As for February bookings, I worked on those in December. I'm sorry if you don't have the number of Feb. bookings you would like, but that is not my fault and I resent the implication of blame that my listing these few items messes up your February booking calender. It may even strengthen your March or April calendar! This is a big country and millions of people search ebay a day. These few itmes are not hurting your bookings, or your bottom line. This forum is for questions about the actual ebay item, not comments or opinions.

Wow, so this is obviously an intentional flaunting of the rules. Glad to know you turned her in.
 
She says that she is retiring, but yet she still has bookings this Feb...
 
A person who has no problem blatantly breaking the rules probably doesn't have much of an issue with lying. I think I'd have some trouble trusting anything she says.
 
:cool:

She may be retiring earlier than planned now - LOLOLOLOL:cool:

I hate to say it but I get some sick perverted joy out of busting these people.
I work my TAIL off for my Pampered Chef business. How DARE they undermine our work by BLATANTLY breaking the rules?!?
And I *love* how they all cry ignorance when you inform them of their faux pas..."Oh, I had no idea..."BULLSHIP!! Home office has sent out reminders in Weekly Bites as well as an occasional random email reminding us of the auction-no-no's...and HELLOO??? When you start a new job it's your RESPONSIBILITY to familiarize yourself with the rules and regs, no??

It's getting really obvious that I have raging PMS now, huh? I am sorry...it'll pass in a few days - LOL
 
Read her feedback and you'll get MORE irritated - one says "shipped directly from Pampered Chef"...now people who don't know better will think consultants CAN sell on E-bay...GRRRRRRRR
