Years ago you could list part-sprayed or even empty bottles as ‘Used’ so no problem.
But on eBay that category no longer permits listing anything other than ‘New’ or ‘New Other’.
I was led to believe this was due to a law change prohibiting the sale of part-used cosmetics on hygiene grounds?
DePop and other sites won’t even permit such items and will remove them.
EBay’s solution was to only allow you to sell as ‘New’, but of course, like everything on here it isn’t policed.
This is why if you search any fragrance and part-sprayed, you’ll still find several listings but always listed as ‘New’ or ‘New Other’ because that’s all a seller can select.
Doesn’t make it right as to achieve legal compliance these shouldn’t be available at all but reporting them is a waste of time.
I had a related issue with a private seller trying to sell a vacuum cleaner as ‘New’, describing it as “brand new in box” then right at the end of the description “only used twice”!!
Reported that to eBay, they did nothing and said the listing didn’t breach any listing policies…..!
As an aside, most if not all postal carriers prohibit the carriage of ‘part-used’ fragrance/EDP/EDT bottles too, but people still post them out.
