thinking a friend trying to resell something she got from me is rude

[Chocice79]

I have a friend that I know known since we were kids. she has a teenage daughter who she now says went to change her name. I have started a bead bracelet business recently and since i know it not really my friends type of thing I ask her did she know anyone else who might be interested in my bracelets She then said she wanted to get one in honour of her daughter new name and with that initial on it as a gift to her. so we talked decided on colours the design. I gave it to her a couple of days ago and she paid for it but less then 2 nights later I'm seeing it up for sale on her husband profile on a selling site! worse still they are trying to make a profit in it! I'm just so mad as I made it as a gift it not like I forced my friend to buy it.What to now say to her as there is no way I not gonna say that I dont know.

She bought a bracelet from your business.
She then decided for whatever reason she didn’t want it and sold it on.

It’s a bead bracelet so it’s not as if they can be making much of a profit. We can only be talking a few pounds?

It’s all a bit odd - but I can’t imagine getting worked up about this.

Just reply on the listing that you are the designer and if anyone wants a different design to contact you for a 10% discount.

Love this idea

I can see you might be disappointed that your friend didn’t want to keep the bracelet. But it was not a gift, she paid for it and it is hers to do with as she wishes. Maybe watch how much she sells it for and put your prices up to match 😂

How much profit? Enough to cover PayPal fees and postage?

That would be funny!

If this was my friend I would think either dd has changed her mind about name change or husband is not supportive of name change.

How expensive was bracelet? Because I think it is strange husband is selling a bead bracelet and not just writing off the spend. Is he proving some sort of point?

Whatever the situation is I would be checking in on friend to find out how she is. Best case scenario she didn't think dd would like the bracelet.

I believe by advertising it on the DH's page, they think OP unlikely to see it. 🌺

when I say gift i mean my friend was buying if as gift to her daughter not that I was gifting it to her. also I charged her £7 she is trying to sell for £10 so yes I suppose she adding postage. it's on the husband page cos they sell stuff together as a family on the same page. it's like if that was me I would wait a couple of weeks at least, but 2 days? since she has was suppose to give it to the daughter at a later date I wonder if she had even shown it to her? before trying to sell it

Any chance we can see the bracelet?

Maybe the friend didn't like it and didn't bother to show it to her daughter. I'd just let it go. It didn't work for them for some reason, no need for any other explanation. I would keep an eye on what it sells for; you could raise your prices if she sells it for more.
