I know. I know, it was stupid. But even if I wanted to make a go of it (I don't) I can't - I don't know enough people.

I am confused though as I didn't think I needed to do anything. Do I actually have to sell it on or get sanctioned?

Have you already paid for the stuff?

You really need to ditch it asap. You will get poorer and poorer the longer you stay with it - the company gets it's money like this. This is how it works, not the shitty overpriced product that nobody wants.

I know, but all I wanted was the product, not to sell it! Yes, I've paid.

Are there any t&cs that say you need to continue selling it?

Don't panic. Are you on Facebook? There's a page called 'Timeless Vie,' the admin there may be able to help you.

If it's Younique I know you can use the product yourself and not have any obligation to sell. Others I don't know sorry

This is what I can't really work out demented, it's clear as mud and I should ask the person who recruited me but THAT won't work!

That's why I asked which it was as then we could try to find out what their conditions are

Tell us which one and someone may be able to help you. Don't feel embarrassed. You've recognised what's happened and you've been proactive.

I feel a bit anxious about saying. Silly I know. I think it's one of the "better" ones and I just wanted cut price products.

I've done a couple of MLM "jobs" - Tupperware (twice) and Partylite. When I was done (i.e., when I realized I was not going to make any money because I'm awful at selling and was only buying the stuff myself!), I just quit doing it. I told my upline in both cases that I was done and then just stopped. I think those companies make a LOT of money from their consultants buying product so they have the new items to show at parties! I sure didn't sell much in either case. Good luck!
