Why is there no drop choice for pre owned perfumes ?

[tonychips56]

I read the regulations and if perfume is a spray bottle its ok to sell, yet there is no way to choose pre owned or used in the drop down.

Here is a thread about this:

You can't sell any used Cosmetics even perfume.

The exception being vintage Collectible perfume in their original bottle, but then you would need to post that in the collectibles category not the Health and Beauty Section.

You need to re-read the cosmetics policy. Cosmetics include perfume and cologne.

Word for word from eBay:

We require sellers to follow all federal and state laws and regulations when listing on eBay. Because the sale of used cosmetics may be regulated or prohibited by law, or may cause harm to eBay or its members, we don't allow sellers to list these items.

In other words they don't allow you to list used perfume.

This is a post I made sometime ago about used perfumes.....  For those that don't know.......Griff is an Ebay employee and long time seller here:

There has been an ongoing discussion for years about whether it's "ebay legal" or not to sell used/open perfumes......this is a quote from today's podcast.....from Griff.........

Griff: Some of the examples in my I collection are really, really old. Like they're from the fifties, forties, even the thirties and some are bottles that are half full from either evaporation or maybe they've been used. Those I cannot list in health and beauty for fragrances categories because they would be considered used. And that category for condition was edited out last year to exclude any used condition.

Brian: Why did we do that?

Griff: Well, it has something to do with the FDA regulations on used cosmetics. You're not supposed to sell them. And unfortunately this makes me furious is that perfumes are considered in there. So eBay was proactive, making sure that they weren't violating FDA guidelines. And so they eliminated the used category from the Health and Beauty fragrances, but there's another category that you can list these in. In collectibles, it's called Vanity Perfume & Shaving Collectibles.
