  • Beauty and skin care products



    “Keep young and beautiful, if you want to be loved”


    We might not entirely agree with the sentiments of that old song, but there’s no doubting beauty and skin care products are more popular than ever; especially now men are getting in on the act. Everyone has their own preferred products – the shampoo that works wonders to make frizzy hair sleek and glossy, the moisturiser that makes skin look bright and dewy or the beard oil that tames and grooms.

    The benefits of eBid shopping from your own armchair


    If you know what your favourite beauty products are, it can be much easier to shop for them online. Quite frankly, the thought of visiting a department store at the weekend can seem too overwhelming as you’re made to run the gauntlet of fragrance-spraying saleswomen, the pressure of the ‘upsell’ where they tout similar products and offer ‘free’ make-up tutorials in the hope you’ll add a basket of new cosmetics to your credit card.

    When you shop the health and beauty section of eBid from your own sofa, you have the luxury of putting your feet up, pouring a drink and working your way through the listings without the sales talk. You might not be aware that some beauty stores will have to stay loyal to certain brands, offering you what gets them the highest sales commission, and pushing the products that mean they’ll hit head-office targets. Of course, eBid stores don’t have such restrictions, and can offer you any combination of products and brands.

    Enter a growing market


    If there’s a rapidly growing market to enter right now as an eBid seller, it’s the beauty industry. When women are too cash-strapped for a new outfit, a new colour of lipstick will do the trick instead. Don’t forget the appearance-conscious men too – last year Clinique for Men’s ‘Protect’ was the fastest growing skincare product line. While women of all ages are paying exorbitant amounts on the newest skincare revolutions, men in their twenties lead the way in sales of eye gel, lip balms and moisturisers; and older men who have adopted an outdoorsy lifestyle are no longer shy about applying sun blocks and creams.

    Sweet Scent of Success


    Fragrances have never been in such high demand. A big money-maker is a discontinued perfume line, and if you’re lucky enough to have even half used bottles of certain fragrances from before 2000 (when EU ingredient restrictions were brought in) you could be pleasantly surprised. Keep an eye out for Dior’s Eau Savage, Miss Dior and Diorella and Chanel No. 5 lurking at the back of your cupboards.

    With the Christmas party season upon us, and people buying products to look their best, as well as fragrances and beauty gift sets being purchased as gifts, there’s never been a better time to start selling in the eBid health and beauty category.
