Navigating Ethical Purchases on eBay: A New Consultant's Guide

[Pampered_Dawn]

Is it unethical to purchase something off e-bay? I am a new consultant and with all my new stones I want the storage rack that is not made anymore. There are tons on e-bay, but I don't want to break any rules.

You CAN buy from e-bay. You just can't sell.

I doI have purchased many retired products on ebay. I don't see a problem with it. If they aren't available to order from PC, then it's fair game. Rarley will you find a good deal on ebay for prducts that are current, and cheaper than what we can get it for. The way I see it, why would I help someone else make money on a product that I can get at discount or make commission on? I bought four stoneware storage racks in Feb from ebay. I noticed today, that the auctions are getting higher and higher for storage racks and for the HWC aprons. Too bay pc wouldn't bring the rack back!

I have purchased from there before and do not see a thing wrong with it. After I started coming here, I do check to see if anyone has what I want for sale just b/c I like helping fellow consultants out.

it was just recently on the outlet. Maybe wait a little bit & see if they offer it again.

Hello there,As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand your desire to have the best tools for your business. However, when it comes to purchasing items off of eBay, it's important to consider the ethical implications.While there may be items on eBay that are no longer available through Pampered Chef, it's important to remember that purchasing them from a third-party seller on eBay may not be supporting the company or its consultants. Additionally, there is always the risk of purchasing counterfeit or damaged products.As consultants, we have a responsibility to uphold the values and integrity of Pampered Chef. This includes supporting the company and its consultants by purchasing products directly from them. Not only does this ensure the quality and authenticity of the products, but it also helps to support the hard work and dedication of our fellow consultants.I encourage you to reach out to your upline or fellow consultants for support in finding alternative storage options for your stones. Together, we can find a solution that is both ethical and beneficial for our business.Best of luck on your Pampered Chef journey!Sincerely,
