Can I sell used perfume on eBay ?

I have many used perfumes and I know you shouldn’t post used perfume unless I’m original box and sealed !!! So does that mean you can never ever sell any used perfumes in any way ? One time I sold one perfume which was used and I lied about it being in original packaging and they accepted it and all was fine , but I don’t want to do this anymore , too much hassle . So my question is that is there any way you can sell used perfume ? Thanks

I don’t think you’re technically allowed to. As in you can only list “new” perfume, and there’s no option for “used” when listing.
BUT, plenty of people do list used bottles, I have in the past and never had a problem. Just make it clear in the description.

I don't know but I looked up Hermes and there's a huge list they won't carry such as ceramics, spectacles, any liquids or creams; so in my Ebay business, I sell on unwanted parts of gwps, strictly I shouldn't send them via Hermes.

Anyway doesn't open perfume go 'off' after about 6 months?

If its stored properly in a cool place it can keep for years - it depends on the quality. Its annoying because I used to enjoy buying & selling vintage perfumes.

You can sell 'new other' and say you opened it, tried it and don't like it.
You can only post them using Royal Mail, and you can only have up to 4 per package. You should also put a perfume label on the box otherwise they can destroy it.

I've sold quite a few used perfumes. Mostly nearly full. As pp said you have to say, ie tell the post office, it's in its original packaging.

To my mind it's something they turn a blind eye to - if you search on unboxed perfume there's a lot being sold.
But make sure you set it up to be sold to UK only.
You can't send perfume to international buyers.
