Here's a New One for Ya! Re: Ebay

[AJPratt]

They could put a notice in the paperwork in the new consultant kit stating the restrictions and that anyone violating them could be terminated without notice. This notice could also be sent to all new consultants in an email just after they start. Bold and large.

I do think that there are grey areas (like myspace (and other sites) wording and family, friends, hosts linking a website thinking they are helping). That time of thing should be a warning but blatent things like this eBay seller deserve immediate termination (IF they make it VERY clear from the start).

I think that's a great idea. And I agree about the termination part, too. Oh, yes, there are grey areas, like someone just saying ,"I'm an Ind. Pampered Chef Consultant" in their profile is way different that what we have seen. IMHO they are very different. One is definately worse than the other.

[AJPratt]

Hey, Just checked the original link and here is what it said:

The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.

 

[Kathytnt]

Well I could have SOLD a kit this week but I told the lady that it is a business opportunity not a product. I have another person that I think might be a kit napper but sometimes it is a little hard to tell.

I think you put it right, Cathy!

Hey $155 for all that is a great deal, ya know! But I happen to think being a consultant is a better one!

 

[janetupnorth]

HEY! THAT SELLER IS IN MY ZIP CODE!!!!

I was so shocked when I saw the Shipping Zip! This is not that large of a town......

ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the good morning laugh Becky!!!!

On E-bay it shows YOUR zip code as the shipping zip code. You have to look up the user to see where they are from. This person is from Ohio...

...sorry, still giggling at your expense!

 

[janetupnorth]

So, how many reported this to HO? Did HO respond or was the listing just ended? I cannot believe the gall of this one. Her response that Jennifer had contradicts what she said to you guys later...(assuming it is a woman - it could be a guy for all we know!)

 

[janetupnorth]

Oh, not to mention her using PC images without permission...grr...back to work...

 

[BethCooks4U]

Well, her auction has ended (history shows none sold) but the following is at the end of the page:

Seller's payment instructions
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about joining Pampered Chef.....I will need personal information in order to process the Consultant Agreement which we can do over the phone or through email.[ /quote]

 

[BethCooks4U]

I contacted her asking for info about PC and here is her response:

Visit www. pamperedchef.com If you need to know something specific let me know.

I had to close the listing b/c my friend didn't realize that she was not allowed to recruit using EBAY. SORRY

Let me know if you need anything else or need help getting signed up.


Thanks. [ /quote]

Covering her tracks I would say. Hmmm...

Oh, wait! It was my friend who contacted her asking for the info. lol

 

[GeorgiaPeach]

Well, her auction has ended (history shows none sold)

This is why I didn't contact the seller through her listing. I didn't want her alerted before HO could see it and deal with it. People like this (the blatant ones) will just go away for a while and then pop back up again when they think it's all quiet.

If they are completely innocent, then I trust the HO knows the difference (once they investigate it). Giving them (the sellers) a warning in an email, IMO, makes it harder for the HO to do their job.

I know we want to give "violators" the benefit of the doubt but I really think these things should be forwarded to the HO, without our contacting anyone else. This way if it is a mistake, they can be informed of the policy. It also gives the HO an opportunity to track those consultants that are "repeat offenders".

I agree with whoever said that the consultants that list "PC consultant" in a profile aren't the ones to worry about. Those people I don't care if they get an email warning them. It's the bold, blatant, in-your-face, full page "ads" for PC! The girl on myspace that had an entire page devoted to HWC and her business, AND she was a director!! (And this ebay example) These people are the ones that I want to see HO handle and deal with!

Whew....I'm going to jump off my soapbox now. (I subbed in middle school today....can you tell!!! )

 

[raebates]

I agree. Anyone can miss or misunderstand a line or two of policy. If that's the case, an message from the HO will alert them and they will correct the error. (The one exception, to me, is posting your website here in your signature. Someone was kind enough to PM me, so I pay that forward.) A person blatantly flaunting the rules is another matter. I trust HO to do the discerning.

They are already in the catalog (May 1st) but it bugs me that she has 89 items to sell...either a consultant or knows a consultant getting them for her...grrr....

 

[pcgogetter]

I emailed the kit seller and she responded...about the same...the website and then get ahold of her if need be. I responded back I wanted to sign under her and am waiting on a response. I will post when I get it!

Has anyone reported this? And who do we report it to? I would love to turn this person in since today is my mood of THAT PISSES ME OFF!!! I have read so many of these threads but for some reason today I want to act. This person has 89 items and I agree she has to be a consultant since she is giving a combined shipping rate which makes me think she is doing direct shipping too.

I personally haven't...you may have to contact Richard Laiche on it...e-mail somewhere around Chef Success...

Duh lol i thought it was June 1st but it still makes me mad to see these things plus the other 89 things on there

 

[AJPratt]

I am glad it ended! And even more glad that they didn't get any recruits. Sorry, that was mean.

No, not really. It was wrong, it wasn't fair, and she got what she deserved (maybe not everything she deserved, we'll probably never know who she is or wht HO did about it). If she was just naive, then maybe she got off with a warning and has learned a valuable lesson, if she was blatently blowing-off the rules, then I hope she was dealt with properly.....

not a very smart person.....

 

[pamperedtracy]

I don't know if anyone caught this or not, but I clicked on the link posted on page 1, which I cut and pasted below, and it did say it had ended early.

Then the kicker was that the auction had been relisted. This time 5 still available instead of 10.

I can't believe with everyone that had emailed her she did it again. Especially when she had responded that she told her friend.

Just a little FYI, unless I missed something. I am going to look at it again and make sure I am right about the auction being active again.

This link comes up in GERMAN! lol

 

[pamperedtracy]

Yes, I tried it, taken exactly from the first post, and I got German too.

Then I went to Ebay and put in Pampered chef business, and there she was.

4 days left until the end of auction.

People are unbelieveable. Did anyone report this the first time? How about now? unreal...just unreal!!

I reported it to Richard on Monday. No response but that doesn't mean he isn't working on it. I've only ever reported one other person...the DIRECTOR that devoted an entire myspace page to HWC, pics of her at conferences, and pics of the kit! Richard emailed me back the next morning and thanked me. I checked and her page was no longer available.

I will report this again. It's the blatant ones that really get me upset. You'd think that now that this girl has been warned that she would be afraid to respond to any inquiries. Not too bright! (Oops...I guess that's mean so I'll say "IMO...she's not too bright!"

That DIRECTOR is still on myspace - with her add - she just changed her address. (and she's a CS member too....hasn't been on in a few weeks though)

Thanks Lisa - for reporting again...that is nerve!!!! That is a BLATANT violation. Not just those, I didn't know, I screwed up, sorry, won't do it again...
