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?

Which one is it?

strawberryshower · 16/05/2017 17:12

Oh - I don't know if I should say?

Have you already paid for the stuff?

becotide · 16/05/2017 17:14

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.

strawberryshower · 16/05/2017 17:15

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?

LimitedSedition · 16/05/2017 17:17

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

Livedandlearned · 16/05/2017 17:17

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!

dementedpixie · 16/05/2017 17:22

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

honeysucklejasmine · 16/05/2017 17:22

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.

strawberryshower · 16/05/2017 17:29

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!
