Why don't you just take photos of your items and use them? Problem solved.

Because she doesn't have the items Tippy.....she is taking orders on ebay then including them with her monthly order to Avon.  They are only posted to the ebay customers after they are received from Avon.

A recipe for disaster if you ask me and perhaps the reason she cannot use stock photos.

But surely she could take photos once she has the items,

and before she posts to buyers?

The policy for pre-sales says it's ok to list

Policy overview

Pre-sale listings generally consist of items that are offered before they're available to the general public, such as video games and custom-made items. These items often aren't in the seller's control or possession when they're listed.

As long as her handling time is long enough.    But if something doesn't turn up in

the order from Avon...........................

It's more dropshipping than pre-ordering, though.

And I am fairly sure Avon has stipulations about selling outside of their party plan.

wizardess's issues, but.

Probably didn't expect to get their marketing model exposed while begging for freebies.

Well,  if ebay keep taking them down and she keeps putting them up,

I know who's gunna win.

Under the radar, but for how long?

Gee, she thinks eBay is worried about using stock photos. Imagine if they found out she was advertising another site she sells on in her listings. That's an even bigger offence than using stock photos!

My mum used to be an Avon lady, years ago, long before the internet. Stuff was quite often on back order, meaning it was another month before the customers got it. I certainly wouldn't be risking "preorders" like this. But that's just me.

Well then,  that hole ain't getting any smaller

Tippy I was an Avon lady many years ago and it was not on to advertise in any way other than to go door to door in the area you were allocated.

I am sure things have changed over the years but I doubt that Avon would approve of their goods being sold on ebay....it could well be why the OP's listings are being taken down.

I wouldn't want to be in her shoes when eBay finds out. And they will find out, because they always do.

I would assume that if Avon allowed their current items to be sold on eBay, they'd be selling them here themselves. If someone is selling stuff off that they've bought because they didn't want it any more, that's one thing, but to be taking orders and submitting said orders is a completely different ball game.

I haven't bought Avon for years, is there a mark up? If there is, I'm sure Avon wouldn't like that. If there's not, what's the point? You'd be losing money after paying eBay their fees.

I noticed that one photo has been poached from someone else because it's got someone else's watermark on it.
