I've got a highlighter powder that was a misbuy. Obv opened and used once or twice? Is there anyway of advertising it thus?

Technically you're not allowed to sell used make up on eBay, but a lot of people do.

As there is no section to list it you will need to list it under "new", so make sure in the description it is detailed clearly as used.

However this obviously opens the floodgates for eBay removing your listing or buyers opening a not as described case as they didn't read the listing properly and thought the make up was new, hence you paying the return postage then having to refund.

I wonder if selling on facebook would be a lot easier, and can be completley honest.

On Ebay, avoid words like 'used' "second-hand" "nearly new" in the description, or any other words easy for their word filters to find. Go for

"I just tried this out once or twice but it really doesn't suit me. So very close to new."
