Wow, They're Getting More and More Brassy on Ebay!

[kristenskitchen]

Ok, I love eBay, I think its great and I'll admit that before I became a consultant and realized how much it hurt regular consultants, I bought a lot of Pampered Chef stuff on there. BUT, this takes the cake...I was looking for an outdated product (the snow cone maker???) for a customer and found this woman selling stuff on eBay who even states in her auction that she's a consultant!! Can I report her somehow?!?

Here's the link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/PAMPERED-CHEF-LOT-Bamboo-spoon-set-Dipper-Mini-cup_W0QQitemZ4464453598QQcategoryZ20650QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hope that works...if not, its auction #4464453598

Oh, by the way, does anyone know anything about the snow cone, ice shaver thingy? I'm trying to find it for a customer of mine. Thanks!!

I had the ice-shaver when my girls were little and gave it away to a friend - to be honest it is one of the few PC things I was not too crazy about. It took forever just to shave enough ice for one sno-cone. Others may like it - just my opinion.
As for ebay - did y'all see where people have broken up the sets of HWC cups and plates and they are going for $60 and $70 for one set!!!!
Its crazy.

I just sent HO the above link.

 

[cmdtrgd]

Hmmm...I have been purchasing the sets my hosts don't want...hmmm. Too bad I hate what Ebay does to Direct Sellers!

 

[stephanieboyd]

Kristen, as long as she is selling current items, you can report her!!! You can't for the ice shaver as that was discontinued!!! I would send an email to HO about it.

 

[PampMomof3]

Okay, I just checked out the site. Click on her ME link and says that she is a PC consultant as well as a PartyLite consultant. Man, she really must not know the rules! Somebody should e-mail her first to give her a heads up. I really don't think she knows. Just my 2 cents.

 

[AJPratt]

I just got the ice shaver and my director laughed! She said that every time there's a mystery box at conference, there's an ice shaver in it. Its a good product, its just not versatile that you can use it for other things like so many of the other products.

 

[AJPratt]

I just emailed the seller a question: Did you know you could lose your status as a Consultant by selling Pampered Chef products on ebay?

Where do we report her to HO?

 

[chefkristin]

Wow!Well I just sent her an email as well. I told her she is only hurting her fellow consultants. That really irks me.

 

[jmedeiros]

ice shaverI have the ice shaver and i love it. Its really nice for those SUPER hot days we have here in AZ. I cant seem to find the flavors that arent so sweet. I was getting the syrup at Target and at Walmart. Its also good for making "slushies" with soda pop or just plain juices.

Yep, I got one last year at conference...and haven't used it yet

I have it

I have it sitting in my closet and it has never been open. If you want it, you can email me at [email protected].

 

[AJPratt]

So, I emailed her and got a response when I asked her if she knew she could lose her consultant status. This was the response.
no i did not .... why are there so many people selling pampered chef on e-bay then...over 2000 daily?????!?!?!?!??

My response:
Saying you didn't know is a lame excuse. Its in the consultant agreement and I'm sure your director could tell you. Oh well, I guess its a risk you all take. And just because there are 2000 items daily, doesn't make it right. Some people sell discontinued items and supplies, while others, like you, unfairly undercut other consultants who are following the rules in their agreement. Don't worry about breaking the rules though, I'm sure you will be reported to the Home Office, if you haven't already been. So, you really don't have to worry anymore.


I just sent an email with a link to the auction and a copy of her information page. She's a dumba**. She gives her name and city.

 

[Shawnna]

While "I didn't know" is not a good excuse, perhaps she really didn't know. She may be fairly new and did not read all of the information she received. I still don't know all the rules and I have been with PC for 5 years. I still have to go and look stuff up. Someone should tell her that HO checks for that sort of thing and that there are people who sell there even though they know they aren't suppose to.

 

[AJPratt]

She may be fairly new and did not read all of the information she received.

Wow 5 years! I know there lots that I still need to learn, but this is something that hurts all of us. AND, its in the consultant agreement she signed. Its actually condition #1. You can't just sign something and not read it. Like running any business, you need to know what your responsibilities are. And besides, there has been such a hooplah about ebay, I don't see how someone could miss it.

Here is another one as well,
Don't know how to let HO know so if anyone else has a clue feel free.
Item number: 4466739898 I also don't know how to attach a short cut to this post.

 

[maryhenderlite]

It is amazing how these people "don't know" that it is wrong to do this.. Ignorance is not an excuse, and I think Home Office should really do something to these folks.. I mean, if we all did this, we could really get alot of customers, but we choose to go about the business the RIGHT way.. Just my opinion. Thanks for letting me vent.

I usually just Copy the page from the address bar and then paste it when I do it, I don't know how they do the fancy stuff like click here, and the here is in a different color and you click on the here and up pops the website they were talking about. I thought I was a bit computer savvy, but sometimes not. I haven't tried to poke around and figure it out, I know there is a thing when you post that says insert link, but haven't a clue why or what it does

 

[PampMomof3]

Okay, that is ridiculous! That really makes me mad! I'm calling HO right now over this one.

[cmdtrgd]

The way to tell HO is to go to Consultants Corner, click on Managing Your Business (far left tab) > Home Office Contacts > Home Office Emails > Field Service. Just tell them you saw this on Ebay. Highlight the URL (http://www.blah.blah) hit Ctrl. C together - this copies - then place your cursor in the email box on CC and hit Ctrl. V together - this pastes. HTH

 

[cmdtrgd]

I just checked the listing and she is not listing anything right now. I wonder if she got called on it. Hehehe. *insert devil icon here*

 

[PampMomof3]

GOOD! The wait to talk to HO is an hour right now so I never got to talk to them but man, the nerve of her.

 

[jdavis]

I just checked the listing and she is not listing anything right now. I wonder if she got called on it. Hehehe. *insert devil icon here*

I know we really do need some more icons on here, lol. I checked it out too, and she's not the first one of these I have seen.

 

[cmdtrgd]

I know we really do need some more icons on here, lol. I checked it out too, and she's not the first one of these I have seen.

I also noticed that she had 10 items up for sale, no purchases, and listing ended.

 

[AJPratt]

I sent this one an email, too. And I sent it to HO.

I am sick and tired of hearing "I didn't know" Ummm.... ITS CONDITION #1 in the agreement. Are you kidding me?

Here's the Field Services E-mail: [email protected]

 

[smarteez2]

Yeah,When I saw her I immediately sent her an e-mail telling her that I just reported her for violation of her contract with Pampered Chef. Period. ) I have never said or done anything for stuff like this before but that was brassy. Of course I hadnt actually reported her cause I didnt know how but she doesnt need to know that!! LOL

 

[maryhenderlite]

I reported her too, and then sent her an email asking her if she was aware that she was in violation of her agreement. Apparently I got to her after a few of you.. I haven't heard from her, and doubt that any of us will. I just check on there, there is SO much on there, and so much NIB of the new stuff, gotta be consultants.. If there is someone in HO that just sits around and checks ebay, they should be really busy.

 

[cmdtrgd]

Too bad she wasn't stupid enough to put her consultant number on her posting.

 

[maryhenderlite]

Too bad she wasn't stupid enough to put her consultant number on her posting.

that would have been something, but at least she had her name (first) and city.. That should help HO some. IF they do anything at all.

 

[pampchefrhondab]

Even Worse ThingsI think these people who try to sell on Ebay are bad, but even worse is the consultant who stole the PC recipe for the Pillsbury Bake Off and won $10,000!

Go to Pilssbury.com and this years bake off. Then look under the category winners. She won the "new you" category.

I don't know how she can feel right about it! The only thing she changes was the fruit on top!

Not sure if she is on these threads or not, but she should be ashamed of herself.

I'm going to write to Pillsbury about it. In the show (which was on last weekend on the Food Network) they said they look for "originality." They need to start looking at the PC recipes!

This is just sad I think. Not sure what everyone else thinks.
