Actually I am getting tired of french fines on US companies in general. No matter how hard you try France will fine you if you are a large US multinational. You can bend over backwards over hot coals and you will still be fined. It simply isnt right that France is able to extract so much money that way.

I’ve had suppliers put the phone down on me as soon as I mentioned eBay, hence I don’t mention them now I have a web site. Never been refused product to sell on my own site. With the way things are in the current financial climate they’ve only been too eager to sell to me.

I think in most cases highlighted so far this all still boils down to the poor image problem eBay has.

And the reason you still sell on Ebay is?

Are these people buying the cosmetics direct from the manufacturers/agents?

In clothing I believe that sometimes stock is sold on with the understanding that it will be debranded and should be sold as generic product.

If a deal seems to be too good….

I tend to agree with you on it being there perogative, however I just don’t happen to like being told where to buy, so I ain’t buying any.

Wife has been collecting these charms for yonks, ernest & jones was always the most expensive..I guess that is why they have been singled out and the rest dumped.

I also don’t know why they want to restrict themsleves to one online outlet (with a limited range). Maybe they are planning their own web presence, Maybe there are other outlets in the pipeline? Maybe a bad decision?
Whatever the reason surely it is their perogative how they release their product on to the market?

I can’t speak for the firm I wanted to buy from but I have made them aware of this blog post in case they have anything to say about the restrictions placed upon them.

There’s a lot of imaginging going on. Can’t speak for jewellery but I know for a fact that cosmetics are being sold to eBay sellers with no warning they can’t sell them on eBay. Caveat emptor indeed.

I would imagine that before Chamilia sold you the stock they would let you know if they had any special conditions and would also check to see if they thought you were a suitable outlet for their product. If you were/are unhappy with those conditions don’t take the stock.

I can imagine why they wouldn’t want them on eBay, I can’t imagine though why they would want to restrict themselves to just using one online retailer.
