Do you buy/sell make up on eBay?

I have a band new used once Touché Éclat foundation the colour is just all wrong for me and I'm unable to return so was thinking of selling on eBay!

Do you buy or sell make up on eBay? Is it likely to sell and will I make back a bit of money as it's a lot to lose

I have in the past & got a fair bit of money back. I am honest about it & either say tested & not suitable or used a few times/ 90% left etc.
Not sure how it works with ebay rules. Think sometimes I have had to list as new but made sure I put 'see description' in the title.

Ok I will give it a go, was expensive so such a waste as I only used once

Yes, I've sold quite a few bits which I've tried and not suited me. I just do as pp said and make sure I'm clear in the description. If anything I overestimate how much I've used.

There was another thread on here in the past week or so which said it's no longer allowed to sell used make up on eBay so check the policy first.

Selling no problem - I tend not to buy as I don't believe half of it isn't fake.

I would be more likely to buy off someone like you (as we be all bought the wrong colour and only naice people buy naice make-up!!) but would be wary of someone who had a lot of unused products for sale.

I've not heard what GoTo has said though - maybe that's now the case.

I may be wrong but a poster said there is no longer the option to put 'used' on your listing as they have banned the sale of opened liquids.

I have sold and bought. Am careful who I buy off though...but then I am a suspicious sort of person where e bay is concerned!
