Avon Refund Guarantee
I have been purchasing Avon products from someone who is NOT refunding the money back to me for an Anew product that did not go well with my skin. He keeps making excuses that it takes a while for it to be credited to his account, which I know is a lie. The same time you put in for your next order, you also put in for the return, which is then credited back to your account, on the next order. Well it has been over 4 weeks and I am still being brushed off by this guy.
Who can I contact to report him? How do I get the money back from Avon, who has this "money back guarantee"???
The city he lives in is Fresno, California. If anyone can PLEASE help me by giving me some kind of suggestion?? I try calling the Avon office and NO ONE EVER answers the telephone. No one has EVER called me back after all the messages I've left.

Becoming a Sales Rep is a big mistake
I signed on to become a Representative for Avon. It was only $10.00 and seemed like a great deal because you order product first and pay on a billing system. (Other companies you pay lots of money upfront). You attend meetings with other reps and learn about sales. I found out where Avon makes money. Selling to Reps. They offer this really great deal, so much money off if you obligate yourself to a certain number of a product. For example I thought I could sell 50 perfumes. They tell you, " Hey it's no big deal, if you don't sell them, just send them back before you get billed!" If I were to sell these perfumes, I would also win a Christian Lacroix Designer Purse. Long story short, I didn't sell the perfume but the purse cam in the mail. I boxed it all up and sent it back. Not only did they claim not to recieve the purse and perfume back, they charged me $400 for a cheap nylon purse. So I ask my district leader for help. Apparently I was supposed to send the purse to a different department (however no one bothered to tell me that EVER). And she recommended I call the help line. The help line has been outsourced to India and nobody understood what I was talking about. Since the purse was a prize and not something I ordered, they couldn't help me. I went back to my District Leader for help (when I was placing orders she was my best friend) now she brushes me off. She can't help me and doesn't know the name of the new person in charge of prizes. So here I sit with a huge bill for perfume and a purse that I don't have. I can't get an itemized bill or invoice to save my life. AND I'm being made to look like a loser by my District leader who is telling the other reps that I was removed for non-payment. $10 bucks my butt, the District Leaders con you into obligating yourself to these programs. I watched out esteemed Leader con a woman who had been selling for a week to buy 80 face creams. She will never sell those. Plus they tell you if you don't sellsomething, just return it. If you do too many returns, they freeze your account and you can't make the returns for a month and meanwhile you've gotten the bill for those items. If you read this and still decide to sell, be very careful. Some women can do it, but for every rep that makes it, at least 10 don't. I was recruiting so I know this for a fact. Thanks for listening.
