When shopping for a Yankee Candle on ebay you may wonder what a seller means when they mention a yellow seconds sticker.

Example of Yankee Candle seconds sticker:

Example of regular Yankee Candle sticker:

A Yankee Candle seconds sticker is put there by the company when:

1. A candle has been overfilled,

2. A candle has been underfilled 

3. The wick may not be centered in the candle correctly,

4. It may be a mislabeled jar,

5. The candle's wax may be loose from the jar

6. The lid may not seal completely or is loose

7. The wax is discolored

8. Too many candles were created for a batch...a batch overrun.

Whatever the reason is, many times the seller does not mention which item you are purchasing in thier auction or store description, so it is important to ask them if thier item is of first quality or if it is a second.
