About Joining Paparazzi... 

When you have a product that everyone loves and everyone can afford, then everyone benefits.  Making real money becomes very real.

​Your first step is learning if Paparazzi is right for you. The first time I saw Paparazzi at a Home party, where all the ladies where going crazy, I SAW myself doing this. It was a no-brainer. I knew I could sell $5 to any woman, and not feel guilty about approaching others. Not only that, the compensation plan was incredible.

​If you love fun fashion, why not sell it yourself?  It’s easy and affordable – simply invite people over to experience trendy accessories that sell themselves.  You determine the who, where, and when. You set up the product and a party atmosphere.  When you sell, you keep the 45% profit and it's yours to do whatever you want with it - reinvest in more inventory, pay a bill, treat yourself to dinner. It's all up to you. You can also sell it via Social Media, which we will teach you to build your brand, and be able to sell it through the different Platforms. 

​Best of all, there’s no pressure. No gimmicks. No sales presentations or party games (unless you want to). Becoming a Paparazzi Independent Consultant is straightforward and simple:

• ​Buy your inventory up front
• Earn immediate cash with a 45% profit
• No catalogs or customer orders to mess with
• Sell where and when you want
• Get additional compensation when others become Consultants - up to 10% of what your team purchases
• Have parties to fund a vacation, or for serious income
• No long-term commitment
• Have fun showing and selling products women love

​

It works because it’s fun and affordable for both you and your potential customers. Paparazzi has a look for everyone, and at $5 a piece, who can resist?

Our customers buy what we have in stock in home parties and cash and carry events.

What is the jewelry made from?

Paparazzi uses a blend of metals to make all our jewelry. The products are primarily made of iron, but do include other trace minerals. Those trace minerals are made up of a metallic alloy or either zinc, steel, aluminum, or copper.

 

Does the Jewelry turn your skin green? 

Some people seem to think (and say) "oh that 'cheap' jewelry turns my skin green".  That couldn't be further from the truth.  The fact is that your skin turning green (or any other color) is based on your own body's ph, not jewelry. medications can change your body's ph, lotions, etc, can make a difference as well.  Expensive jewelry can cause the very same reaction too.  And by-the-way... expensive jewelry does NOT mean it's "real gold or silver"... it can simply mean it's overpriced costume jewelry. 

Here is an article to give you more information to understand and prevent "The green plague". CLICK HERE

​So after reading the article above, you can see, there are other reasons for jewelry turning someone's skin green, not the jewelry.  Especially not Paparazzi!  So now that you know... check out all the great pieces available to you and wear them "plague free"!!! Shop here

Do I Have to Purchase My Display or Marketing Items from Paparazzi?

Absolutely not! As an Independent Consultant, you are allowed to use the Independent Consultant logo as you wish. You can make your own business cards, banners, posters, flyers, etc.  You can also make your own displays or purchase them from wherever you want. It's completely up to you. -- You cannot, however, alter the logo in any way.

As a Consultant, can I charge more than $5 plus tax for the products?

Paparazzi Consultants may not sell Paparazzi Accessories for less than the mandated prices of $5, and $25.  (Zi Collection is $25.)  Paparazzi is known as the $5 jewelry company and all brand marketing supports this price point. Paparazzi recommends always using the mandated prices, even for fundraisers. If Paparazzi Accessories are sold above the mandated prices, Consultants are solely responsible to consult with their local tax advisors as to whether they have thereby incurred sales tax liability and, if there is liability, to remit the sales tax (on the difference between the mandated prices and the actual sales prices) to their state sales tax commissions.

What About Sales Tax?

You will be charged sales tax on the retail value of each piece you order. Paparazzi is required to do this. This is intended to ensure that each state tax agency is made whole on any potential sales from the transactions of that wholesale product. The sales tax is charged at the local level of the place where the order is shipped. Paparazzi collects these taxes at the time of wholesale inventory purchase and remits it to the state on behalf of the Retail Sale that the Consultant may now have.

This also allows the Paparazzi Consultant the option of charging their local taxes on their Customer transactions and recuperate that cost, or absorbing it into their business structure; while at the same time not bringing any uncovered sales tax liability on Paparazzi or the Consultant.

Paparazzi is required by the IRS to issue a Form 1099 to all Consultants who have received $600 or more in commissions each year.

Consultants must ensure all information on their accounts is accurate. To ensure each 1099 is consistent with IRS records, the TIN (taxpayer identification number) on each Consultant’s account must be accurate and match the name on the account. For example, if a Consulant’s personal name is on the account, the TIN must be the Consultant’s SSN, not an EIN.

If this information is not correct, the IRS may assess a fine to Paparazzi, which will be passed on to the Consultant. A Consultant’s failure to pay the IRS fine will result in the cancellation of the Consultant’s account. Inaccurate information (TIN, name, birth date, etc.) may also jeopardize the Consultant’s account.

As independent contractors, Consultants should keep their own business records for expenses, sales, commissions, etc., for income tax purposes.

General Sales Tax Information: 

Paparazzi does not provide tax or legal advice. Please contact a tax or legal professional with any questions about taxes.  

Pursuant to 8.3 Sales Tax, Paparazzi collects and remits sales tax and consumer use tax (referred to herein as “sales/use tax”) from Consultants when they purchase Paparazzi Accessories at wholesale and those Accessories are shipped to a state or locality that assesses sales/use tax on Paparazzi’s products. Paparazzi will not collect sales/use tax from Consultants if they provide Paparazzi with documentation of a valid exemption (such as a resale permit) on or before the time of their purchase.

Paparazzi has Consultants in all fifty states and all US Territories. Sales/use tax laws are complex and vary by state and locality. Paparazzi Consultants are independent contractors and are responsible for their own business practices and tax issues. Further, every Consultant is required to comply with all state and federal laws (see Section 6.6 Laws and Ordinances). Consultants should consult a tax advisor regarding all tax matters. If Consultants are collecting sales tax from their customers, they are responsible to comply with the requirements of their taxing authorities. This would include filing any sales/use tax reporting forms to their tax authority - documenting what sales/use taxes they have collected, as well as sales/use taxes they have already paid and for which they may receive a credit on sales/use taxes owed.

Section 8.3 is not intended to provide legal advice about Consultants’ rights and responsibilities for collecting and remitting sales tax. Paparazzi is not suggesting or recommending that Consultants should collect sales tax without remitting it to their states. Instead, Section 8.3 highlights for Consultants’ consideration (and subject to discussions with a tax advisor) that certain states provide opportunities for Consultants to offset sales tax already remitted to their states by Paparazzi.

As an illustrative example, certain states permit a tax-paid credit to taxpayers as an offset to sales or use taxes that they collect in the course of doing business. If the state where a Consultant conducts business permits such a credit, the sales tax paid by the Consultant to Paparazzi (and that Paparazzi has remitted to the Consultant’s state) may be available as a credit to offset the sales tax that the Consultant collects from customers. If available, Consultants essentially recover the sales tax remitted by Paparazzi to their states by filing for and claiming a credit to offset the sales tax collected from their customers.

This is merely an illustrative example and Paparazzi does not state whether this credit is available to all Consultants in the states where they conduct business. Paparazzi strongly recommends that Consultants consult a tax advisor on the tax laws in the states where they conduct business so that they apply the law (including available exemptions, credits, and rates) to their business activities. 

Please note that even though Paparazzi collects and remits sales tax paid by Consultants when ordering from Paparazzi, it is the Consultant’s responsibility to comply with any and all requirements regarding sales tax, including filing any reports, etc. as may be required by your state.

Paparazzi does not provide tax or legal advice to Consultants. If you have any questions about sales tax or what your state requires, you should contact a tax advisor.

Calculation of Sales/Use Taxes

The sales/use tax collected by Paparazzi from the Consultant is based on the following formula: 

The retail sales price of Paparazzi Accessories multiplied by the state and local sales tax rate for the location to which the Accessories Paparazzi products are shipped. 

See Section 8.3 Sales Tax.

Sales Tax on Consultants’ Sales Outside City or State

Consultants who sell Paparazzi Accessories to customers in a different state should contact a local tax advisor with questions regarding sales tax.

Sales/Use Tax Exemption 

Paparazzi will not collect sales/use tax from Consultants who provide documentation evidencing a valid exemption (such as a resale certificate) on or before the time the Consultant makes a purchase from Paparazzi. Consultants should contact a local tax advisor and/or state tax authority for information on obtaining and completing the necessary paperwork to obtain a valid exemption. Requirements may vary from state to state.

Tax exemption documentation must be submitted to and approved by Paparazzi before the exemption will be granted. The tax identification number and the name on the exemption paperwork must match the tax identification number and name on the Consultant’s account. Documentation should be emailed to support@paparazziaccessories.com, and it may take several business days to process. Any orders placed before Paparazzi approves the exemption will be subject to sales tax.

Consultants who are approved for tax exemption on Paparazzi purchases will be responsible to report and pay their own sales tax obligations to their respective states.

Vendor Events  

If a Consultant has signed up for a vendor event and the event coordinator requires a state sales/use tax certificate, the Consultant can email support@paparazziaccessories.com for a copy of the sales tax certificate issued to Paparazzi by the state in which the Consultant resides. 

Potential Sales Tax Liability

Paparazzi does not collect sales tax on free Accessories that are given to Consultants, including, but not limited to, Hostess Rewards, free Life of the Party Accessories, and Accessories given away at Paparazzi-sponsored events. If Consultants choose to sell these Accessories, they should contact a tax professional concerning potential sales tax liability and sales/use tax laws in their state.

 

Does Paparazzi Withhold Taxes?

No. You are solely responsible for reporting the income you make from your Paparazzi business. You will receive a 1099 or similar form from Paparazzi at the end of the year to assist you with your tax filing.

* * * Make sure to keep track of ALL your expenses: mileage, food, postage, office supplies, etc. Even the cost of the inventory you purchase! These are important costs of doing business and as a consultant, you will own your own business. Be sure to take advantage of all the tax deductions you are legally allowed! * * *

Do I Need A Vendors License?

These laws vary by municipality. Your local municipality may or may not require it, so it is a good idea to check with your local government.

However, when you are signing up for and event, you will sign up under your name and Paparazzi Accessories as the company.  As a consultant, you are permitted to use Paparazzi's Tax ID number to register for any events. To get the Tax ID number for your state, ask your sponsor or call Paparazzi's corporate office to get the number specific to your state.

What is the Guarantee?

As far as when you are selling to your customers through the website, their request for return must be made within 10 business days of receipt to be eligible for a full refund. To initiate a return, the customer must contact Paparazzi Support at (855) 697-2727 to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Upon approval, a shipping label will be provided to the customer.

All returns need to have the RMA number clearly marked on the outside of the package and must be shipped to:

Most items are repairable, simply by squeezing shut a jump ring (these are the small, circular rings used in most jewelry making processes). 

As a Consultant, how much money can I make?

Consultants order all jewelry and accessories for $2.75/per adult item, which you sell for $5.00 each.  You earn a 45% PROFIT off each piece of jewelry and hair accessory you sell.
