Selling my Creed fragrances other than on eBay advice please?

Posted 26th Jul 2023
Hi all,

I would like to ask some advice from fellow sellers.

I have been selling off my far too large fragrance collection, to just my favs being left. Been happily selling off on ebay but every time I have listed one of my never sprayed (and real) Creed's Fleabay have taken down my listings (two separate ones) twice now saying they are fakes. I think you only get three strikes and its game over.... 

Whats most annoying is they are all bought from either Creed themselves or John Lewis, so I know they are not fakes, but also there is no appeal process..... like here's my receipts dummys!

Not sure if its Fleabay themselves, a jealous competitive seller (I was selling very reasonably priced) or Creed themselves reporting them..... don't know.

My question is, where (if any) is a good alternative please to sell on?

I have no selling history anywhere else, little facebook presence, tried Shpock, wasn't impressed and got no bites on etsy.

So any advice is gratefully received please. I was just thinking bout opening another eBay account at the worst case (another 3 strikes allowed, hardly solving the problem) but they don't seem to give two hoots about sellers these days.

Thanks, Mike.

    I have faced this myself. It is an automated listing removal and seems to be triggered by the use of specific words. Removing "new / sealed / unused" worked for me.

    Ah ok, interesting. Thank you. I always try to leave as much info as I can on a listing to help the buyer make an informed purchase.

    It looks like less may be more then.  
     

    Trouble is with one strike left, I think I heard they keep your money if they owe anything to you if you get a third strike. I may be better not risking it all if that isn't an urban myth.

    Poshmark is a new one, very good and there are no major restrictions on listings.

    Are you able to message me with the fragrances you have for sale? xx I'm always on the lookout (edited)

    I haven’t tried selling any myself but also interested in which creed fragrances you had to sell, if you’re able to pm me please? No worries if you’ve already found a way of listing them somewhere though
