New Listings

Hello,

I’m new to EBay and have done my best navigating my way through to list a few items.  This took some time.

 

I listed 8  items however, on my eBay, I can only see 5, the other 3 are strangely in drafts yet it says I’ve 8 active listings.   

Can anyone shed any light, I am very confused. 

Thank you.

Most of your listings are now showing, however, you are going to run into problems with the fragrances you have listed.

First of all, you are not allowed to sell used perfumes on Ebay.

Ebay's definition of new/other is:

New other (see details)

A new, unused item with absolutely no signs of wear.

 

This is the perfume policy:

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/cosmetics-perfume-policy?id=4290&st...

Cosmetics and perfumes may be sold on eBay. However, sellers must follow all applicable laws and eBay policies, which are explained in more detail below. 

What is the policy?

Cosmetics and perfumes that aren't allowed include, but aren't limited to:

  • Cosmetic and perfume testers
  • Cosmetics and perfumes that have been transferred into another container (such as a bottle, flacon, can, or tube)
  • Cosmetics and perfumes that were placed on the market outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA) and were imported into the UK without the rights owner’s consent (called parallel imports)
  • Counterfeit cosmetics and perfumes pretending to be a branded product
  • Items not in the original packaging
  • Items where the trademark has been removed or altered
  • Samples marked as “not for sale” (or similar, such as “for personal use only”)
  • Skin-bleaching products
  • Used cosmetics and cosmetic applicators (such as sponges or pencils) that haven’t been thoroughly cleaned prior to sale
  • Used perfume, including partially filled bottles

     

    Secondly, you have listed Royal Mail as the carrier.  If you take a perfume to the Post Office to send you have to get a label (ID8000) to put on to indicate the contents and you will be asked if the perfume is in its original packaging, that is, the box it was sold in.  So, you can't sell partly used fragrances on Ebay, and you can't send unboxed perfumes with Royal Mail.

     

    I know this is disappointing, but you should remove the perfumes you have listed.
