Can you PLEASE explain the rationale behind allowing BATH BOMBS to be given away on JT but not cosmetics? Surely they fall under the same category? Are BATH BOMBS not worse?? Hmmmmmm.... double standards me thinks....

Can someone start up a website where we can give away our old cosmetics etc for free?!! God that would be sooo good!

Hi sparklyirisheyes,

No double standards, sparklyirisheyes -- all cosmetic items etc are still banned, and the ad in question has been removed from the forum.

As Admin can't be everywhere on the site at the same time, we rely on Members to report posts that shouldn't be on the forum. To report a post, please click on the red and white triangle beneath the Giver's User Name.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm afraid it is disallowed, taraoreilly. It falls under "prohibited item" #3 (see below).

from the JumbleTown User Guide:

Lotions and potions.

It's an awful pity that there are so many lunatics out there that would contaminate such things as perfumes and cosmetics. I absolutely love perfumes and have often bought them at jumble sales etc. I never even considered that someone have contaminated them (and contaminated them with what, acid or something so sinister??). Would it be appropiate for jumbletowners that have dealt with each other before and trust each other to let each other know if they have something on offer by PM or would this be off limits as well?

Hi Moeby,

The Giving and Taking of cosmetics/lotions by any Member is prohibited, be it on the public forum/the listings or by PM.
