Totally!!! Makes *no* sense. But someone inevitably will.
If it is a real magazine person they're behaving completely unethically. Worked for mags for years... and profiting off your swag is a fireable offence. If MAC finds out who this is, they'll never send previews out to that publication again. MAC doesn't "blanket" send out new lines like other cosmetic companies - it's either by request or only to senior beauty editors....
... Which is why I doubt they're ever "magazine" people on ebay when they say they are. I know tonnes of people who get truckloads of swag and they give it away to junior staff and friends. It's just not worth your job - and someone always finds out.
The e-bay problem also why our gratis is getting mutilated by the compan, taken out of boxes, etc etc.
