Fragrance Marketplace is back! (for now) please read and follow our latest rules and join our backup group: Fragrance Marketplace 2.0

• Check your MESSAGE REQUESTS & Spam Folder.
• We love seeing great photos of your collection/shelves/bottles, local member meetups, post them.
• Create Events for local meet ups.
• Go Live in the group!

More info on Group Rules:

• The Admins have lives outside of Facebook believe it or not, we do not sit around all day reading every single comment. Some of us even filter the group by newest post, not by most recent activity. Reporting to Admins is an amazing feature that will alert us;

• ∗∗∗Do Not price police –> One way to get around this rule is just add a LINK to a legit retailer/grey market website in their post as a proof you can get it cheaper if you wish to be a price police.∗∗∗
• You are allowed to post non-fragrance items up for swap as long as you are asking for fragrances in return.
• If you comment on a “What’s for Sale/ISO” post, list your price ALWAYS (group rule).
• Small brand (Indie) self-promotion are ONLY allowed on Mondays;
  • Youtube videos, Links to other Groups and Website Links are still not allowed.

Common Sense:

• If a website has Aventus for $50, what makes you think it is authentic?
• ~95% of scams DO NOT happen in Fragrance Marketplace, we just allow people to post about it in here to warn the community (after Admin approval).
  • Keep in mind that MANY scammers that we have removed, are still lurking in other groups (familiarize yourself with their photos, payment info, names, URL, etc… link to the list of Known Scammers in the Group’s ABOUT ME section.

Activities:

• If you are doing a giveaway that requires zero money, Admin approval is not needed.
• Test your luck by playing waffles (we call it a “waffle” because “raffle” will get the post removed by Facebook).
  • DO NOT put any notes when you pay via F&F for Waffles, multiple offenses will get you removed from the group.

• FM Leadership will NOT get involved with international transactions or decants, they are at your own risk.
• When in doubt, do a legit check or utilize the group’s search bar by typing in their name (make sure their profile URLs matches). Literally nobody gets upset if you do one on them.
• Utilize Admin Brokerage or G&S.
• If a seller REFUSES a legit check or Brokerage, alert the Admins immediately.
• Screenshot the original listing when you make a purchase.
• If decants are not in transparent bottles, do not proceed with transaction.
• Ask for photos of the juice level, batch code, any specific damages, etc…
• You have 14 business days starting the day after the arrival of your item for full inspection/authenticity check [Statute for limitation], any issue afterwards is solely a personal issue between buyer and seller to resolve without any involvement from Admins.
• Do a shoutout post for your seller if everything went well, it only benefits the community as a whole.

Selling:

• Utilize the group search history, ebay, forums, aura fragrance, fragranceX, fragranceNet, fragranceBuy, Notino to determine best pricing.
  • Yes, Aurafragrance is legit.
• Get in the habit of putting “for swap only, sell only or swap/sale”, it will save your inbox from stupid offers.
• Utilize Admin Brokerage or G&S.
• Please write out the entire fragrance Brand, Name and level percentage to help aide our visually impaired community.
  • Along with stating your bottle’s % left, draw a line showing the levels.
• Always include good photos + batch codes (it will help admins when we need to get involved) plus protect you as a seller from switcharoo type of scams.
• Add the the shipping costs to your TOTAL price or write out “+shipping”.
• Do not delete your post after you make a sale (this is your track record in the group), update the post to “Sold” instead.
• Use Pirateship to make your labels, stop standing in line at the Post Office.
• Tom Ford Dramming Bottles are NOT TO BE RESOLD in FM without the approval of Admin Nghia Tran or Tiffany Harrigan.
