How can it be that More than one seller on E-Bay has more than 10 DCB's to sell?? GRRRR
 
They're probably a consultant. Send the link to one of the auctions to [email protected].
 
This one? It has to be a consultant direct-shipping after receiving payment.

The shipping info on other items says they might ship FedEx instead of USPS.
Looks like they are selling lots of Tupperware, too.
 
Oh, oh....wish someone here would BUY IT and see what the consultant # is on the shipping label!!! Looked at her "Store" and she has nearly the whole catalog...sheesh!
 
I think I remember someone posting about this seller before, and saying they contaced HO, who said they were working on the reported violation. That's really all we can do: report it and let HO deal with it.
 
I agree, report the auctions that look like they are consultants. Let HO deal with them.
[email protected]
 
I agree, just report it to HO. I can see why HO would have trouble with this one - if you look at the seller's feedback, almost everything was a Buy-It-Now private auction.
 
Notice the User Ids History
Maybe they keep getting caught and just change their name

OHHH, smart thinkin'! That would be great for HO to do to figure out who this "middleman" is and the consultant they are working with.
 
If nothing else, if they're using HO images, HO can go after them for copyright infringement. (I haven't looked at the auctions because they make me mad.)
 
Yes, and Amazon, too. I have already sent these in a few time, but HO hasn't done anything yet (one even SAYS she is a PC Rep on the main page of her store!!!!)

Feel free to send them on to HO as well, maybe multiple complaints will make them go away!
 
It makes me sick to see this! It's got to be a consultant since the products are too new to be selling because they didn't like them! ARGH!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are multiple eBay sellers offering over 10 DCBs each?

Multiple eBay sellers may be offering over 10 DCBs (Deep Covered Baker) each due to the high demand for Pampered Chef products, particularly popular items like the DCB. Sellers often acquire these products through various means, including bulk purchases, clearance sales, or as part of their own inventory from direct sales businesses.

Is it common for eBay sellers to sell Pampered Chef products?

Yes, it is relatively common for eBay sellers to sell Pampered Chef products. Some sellers may be former consultants or individuals who have purchased items in bulk and are reselling them for a profit. However, buyers should ensure they are purchasing from reputable sellers to avoid counterfeit products.

Are there risks associated with buying DCBs from eBay sellers?

Yes, there are risks when purchasing DCBs from eBay sellers. Buyers may encounter counterfeit products, items that are not in new condition, or sellers who do not honor warranties. It's important to check seller ratings, reviews, and return policies before making a purchase.

Why are some DCBs priced higher than others on eBay?

Pricing for DCBs on eBay can vary based on factors such as the seller's location, condition of the item (new vs. used), rarity, and demand. Limited edition or discontinued items may be priced higher due to their collectible nature, while more common items may be more competitively priced.

Should I buy a DCB from eBay or directly from Pampered Chef?

While eBay may offer lower prices, the risks of counterfeit items and lack of support can outweigh the savings. Consider your priorities when making a purchase decision.
