    It is the only sort of cosmetics and beauty products that you can sell as used:

    Used cosmetics, excluding perfumes, are not permitted for sale on eBay.

    Karin received a bottle of perfume for her birthday. She has tried it for some days, but unfortunately, she does not like the fragrance. Since the item is a bottle of perfume, she is allowed to sell it on eBay.

    blimey I didnt know you couldnt sell used cosmetics!! I sold my clinique stuff on there for weeks and had no probs.
  • I've sold many bottles of opened perfumes over the years and they always sell very well, sometimes £20 or more. I didn't know you couldn't sell used cosmetics either, my daughter's sold loads of her make-up with no problem.HTH
  • I read this post a while back and thought I'd try selling some perfume - just sold an unwanted gift for £26 so v pleased with that!!!

    I'm amazed that they do sell :eek: I wouldn't've thought anyone would buy a half-used bottle with who-knows-what contents.
