Hi all,
I am a Tupperware person and we are not allowed to sell on ebay and the like. I know that many do but it can really harm the ones of us who play by the rules and actually get off our backsides and do the hard yards.
Am i the only one who is annoyed by this and are you other planners allowed to sell that way?

Hi, I sell Tupperware too and I was just looking at ebay today and was stunned with the amount of Tupperware being sold on there and even the brand new stuff!!!! It annoys me too, that people can get away with it especially when your told at Sessions that they are clamping down on people who do it and then their still there doing it. Not sure how these people are getting past the rules!!! It sucks!!

Hi
I am also a demonstrator, I dont like what they are doing either, I do find it funny though when someone pays more for an item than they would have paid for a new item through us.
I would n't worry about it too much as head office has spies using the ebay and other auction system to catch people out, there contracts are immediately cancelled and they can be made to pay full price for all tupperware that has been purchased on thier account.
so the conseqences are pretty bad, unfortunately it is not easy to catch people out.
just remember that he who cheats will get caught.

I know what you mean! I'm a jewellery, skincare and makeup consultant and it bugs the heck out of me seeing all these dirty tactics people selling our stuff on ebay and especially hocking off gift vouchers worth x amount of dollars to the highest bidder. Get real people! These guys don't understand business ethics at all and don't intend to play fair or be honest ever in their lives.

I can totally relate I am with Creative Memories and there are sooo many of our products on there, I even had a customer who thought that CM was only bought on ebay!! I cant tell you how angry I get over it! I love my business as I am sure you all do, and I am fed up with consultants who do this and undermine our hard work!
