I sometimes sell the ones I did not want to use and regardless of what is written on the packaging, they were not free. View solution in original post. I don't know that it is illegal anywhere; it is a contractual agreement between authorized merchants and the manufacturer. Once it gets past the authorized dealers, I don't see how anyone can enforce the "not for resale" agreement.
On the other hand, one would think that enough buyers would complain after receiving "not for resale' items, that the seller wouldn't last long here. It's not illegal. The customers can do whatever they want, including sell them individually.
Is there are reason you're asking? Something that's happened? Or just that you noticed samples for sale on eBay and were concerned? My hubby has never worn any cologne fancier than Old Spice. This Christmas I bought him a lot of 15 or so samples on EBay- they made a terrific stocking stuffer and he gets to try out a whole bunch of different scents for a small investment! It's a win win for both seller and buyer! It is not a law, it is a contract between the manufacturer and the store.
Nothing on ebay about it. So the only problem I would see is if the company was a vero member and they objected for any reason. If I receive a sample size that is not advertised as "sample size" on the ebay listing, then I will leave bad feedback. I am tired of buying samples that I could have gotten myself for free. As far as I know, it's only the retailer that the manufacturer is trying to prevent from selling samples.
The manufacturers want to insure the public gets them free of charge, once the public has them though, they are free to do what they want with them - which includes selling them. That depends. I made the mistake of listing an iconic fragrance that's really cheap, undercutting everyone else.
Rare and discontinued seems to be the best option. The 'alt' checklist: - Give up - Find another selling site - whether facebook, reddit, or an ebay competitior not my preferred option.
Or, obviously, a forum like BN. In some cases, we explain the situation to the seller and the listing will remain on our website". The translation: we make money from business sellers in a way we can't afford to lose as our marketshare is threatened by newer ways of selling online and we can trust business sellers in a way we cannot trust private sellers. I opened a new ebay account. I'm not going to use it to buy anything or even engage with another seller.
I've only used pictures of the bottle, I've done the linguistic 'tricks' to minimise how obvious it is that it's a sample, without making it confusing to prospective buyers. So, does anyone else have any advice whatsoever that might help!? Mar 28, Are you seriously asking for advice on how to break eBay's rules without detection?
My advice is to follow the rules and sell decants on sites where it's allowed. That's precisely what I'm asking, yes, like the thousands of others who are using ebay to trade in plain sight with next to no danger or damage whatsoever to anyone at all. Oct 24, Click to expand Ok, to clarify: any advice other than the aforementioned ''give up''?
I appreciate your desire to be 'right' here, and sticklers for the rules, but this isn't exactly selling uranium on the black market AZsmells Well-known member. Jul 11, A search on Ebay for "perfume decant" shows results. I really don't understand how they enforce their policy.
I once listed a whole bottle with box of Davidoff Relax and Ebay took it down for violating policy. I never got an explanation of what policy I violated. Birdboy48 Well-known member. Jul 10, There's ten zillion people selling decants on E-bay. I can see where you'd be pissed off for being singled out. Dec 29, No fees Jul 16, I see quite a few decants on eBay UK. They pop up when I am actually looking at full bottles, does not mention they are decanted until you go into the listing and it the written description will say 5 or 10 decants freshly made.
If another eBayer keeps reporting you eBay will eventually ban you altogether. There are private UK perfume groups on Facebook and the members sell and swap decants and full bottles all the time. Because of the rules of not being able to post perfume outside the UK, they are all UK based.

Jan 3, I don't sell decants on Ebay but, I sometimes list partial manufacturer's samples, throwing in samples from, like, Luckyscent or other sample websites. I always worry I'll get booted though. I usually only list three "lots" at a time - just in case. I've been selling nearly full bottles from my collection as well. The latter, could be interpreted as "used" cosmetics, which are not allowed.
Repeated violations of items the vero program cancels will quickly lead to seller suspension. If you are concerned the thing to do would be report listings that you feel should be removed to the artist, manufacturer or their agent. Good luck, Jim. Comments 1. Rising Star. Thanks for the reply.
The tricky thing is that you'll never know that they're illegal unless you buy them. Most of the listing say something like - 4 GB of Beats, or samples of vocals. I'm guessing they might be a mixture of samples from all over, so it's not like it's Guitar by Slash Download version 1.
As a producer it would be a nightmare, you'd have to buy tons of the samples and listen to them all to see if yours have been copied. Ask a Question. Type your question here Most Helpful Posts.
