eBay’s Sneaker Authenticity Guarantee is Here

** Updated Authenticity Guarantee info here: ebay.to/Sneake... **
No-cost independent sneaker authentication is now on eBay. Look for the little blue checkmark on select listings of unworn Jordans and Yeezys over $200, with more brands and price points being added soon. That checkmark means some of the best 3rd-party authenticators in the game check even the tiniest details of the sneakers you purchased. Once verified, they’re laced with an NFC enabled smart tag. So when they show up at your door, you can scan the tag and get all the info on your new kicks.

[@Taco_Dude]

They need be more open to the customer service . I mean if I’m send my shoes to some “Authenticator” I would like to know who is looking at my shoe what’s are there credentials and I should be able to contact them through the process. Especially when it going to be a paid service soon. Just trusting some one in New York they can switch the shoes and say they are fake or they can pass a shoe that is fake. When it come down to it just more clarity in the process.

Unfortunately this service is absolutely useless for any vintage sneakers. Just tried to purchase a pair of vintage 1980s reeboks and had them sent back because eBay didn't know what they were looking at. Called and there's no way to still get them, I have to wait for the seller to get them back and re-list them to try again. You guys should really add an option so that even pairs that don't pass inspection can still be received, because this whole thing is a huge barrier to buying and selling anything other than brand new modern shoes. Vintage collectors are getting the short end of the stick with this one. And guess what, you can't even turn authentication off. Stupid.

[@elinakim4017]

Great option. Hope they allow your suggestions. I dealt with the same thing on some vintage Nike ACG. Didn't pass authentication because they couldn't find the size. Sizing is embossed in the shoe and they didn't see it.

[@margowatts5078]

I had the same experience. The system in place is definitely flawed.

[@KanyeEnjoyerr]

Yep, sold a pair of 1999 bred 4s and they got sent back because I didn’t specify that “the midsoles were repainted.” Absolutely stupid because the midsoles are crumbling anyway and need a sole swap. I clarified that in the description but I guess it doesn’t matter. Absolute joke

Yeezy 700 box was different than retail, the insole was just adidas sign with no branding or insole cushion, the adidas print on sole bottom. These were obvious signs and was still authenticated, pretty sad.
