Beware of buying samples and "cheap" products from Avon and Nutrimetics
on Ebay. Some tips to avoid paying way too much for these products and
avoid being ripped off....


I have noticed the amount of makeup, fragrance and skincare samples
being sold on ebay recently. There is also a lot of Avon and
Nutrimetics being sold at higher prices than you would usually pay from
your local representative. It always pays to ask a representative you
know how much you would pay for that particular item.
Many of these items are bought as representative only offers, in
clearance catalogues, as part of promotional packs and bargain bins and
sold at inflated prices at auction and in stores. This is really unfair
to loyal customers and Avon and Nutrimetics representatives. Avon and
Nutrimetics actually prohibit the sale of any of their items on the
internet and frequently catch these sellers out and cancel their
representative accounts.
Keep in mind that you would probably get a better deal with your local
Avon or Nutrimetics rep, and do check with them. They know the best
deal you can get and will try to get the best deal for you!
Samples that are sold either in packs or singularly on ebay is also
wrong as samples are provided to the customer for free and they clearly
say on the back of them "Sample Only , Not For Resale". even though it
may seem economical to buy lots of samples, it is certainly not cheaper
as your Avon rep gives them out for free!
Products sold singularly are often a part of a pack or deal available
in your current brochures.(eg A perfume that was part of a perfume gift
box that included shower gel, body lotion, etc). This way the seller
can make more on the item by selling it singularly on ebay and you end
up paying a much higher price.

Tips to avoid paying too much:

1. Never buy sample packs or bulk lots - These are provided FREE by
your Avon rep and you can find a rep easy enough by contacting Avon
2. Check with your local rep or someone else you know who buys Avon /
Nutrimetics on a regular basis to check what they paid for the item
3. Contact the companies yourself to see what deals they have and get
them to send you a catalogue so you can compare and avoid paying
inflated prices.
4. Avoid buying "mystery boxes"
