STOCKX vs GOAT vs EBAY: Which Is THE BEST For BUYING Sneakers in 2022?!

[@jeffislearning]

They the OG of the sneaker game.

[@cactusjack2264]

eBay started the whole sneaker reselling game tbh, before GOAT, Stock X or any other site or app you wanna name, eBay has always been there when it came to finding anything you wanted but couldn’t find elsewhere, especially hard to find sneakers. I’m surprised it took them this long to set up an authentication service considering how many fakes have been sold on eBay for years now.

[@loganpeterson1098]

i personally have used goat for a lot of my sneakers, solely for the purpose of buying used shoes at a lower price without risking the authenticity of them. i think it’s a great aspect of the app that sets it apart from the others

[@Soldier_Beyond]

I used to like stockx but their prices are ridiculous for sneakers

[@DevanRock1]

eBay authenticates used shoes as well, and you can usually find better deals in my experience

[@poycicle1953]

Ebay does the exact same too!

[@dants2444]

That's the whole point

[@j0nokim]

I’ve only bought/sold on stockx and ebay, because I saw that the base price was always higher on goat. Didn’t realize the final price was actually pretty comparable. Definitely going to consider goat as another viable option now!

[@FELIPE8226M]

Yeah because stockx fees are higher

[@JoeMama-ly1kc]

Goat has higher prices with a low fee and stock x gets you with the low price but 30 dollar fee. They both end up being the same price tho

[@Kwamikaze88]

If it hasn’t been done already, I’m looking forward to a breakdown of selling sneakers on all three of these platforms in 2022. I’m curious to see how eBay’s fees have impacted what you’re doing in the $20 sneaker series.

[@kashprabhu4975]

Oh

[@rickwing7894]

I totally agree with what you said, I personally use StockX just to check the market price of a sneaker. For Goat, I usually go on to see the used market price, and eBay (my personal favorite) is where I would buy my pairs most of the time because I can communicate with the buyer and potentially work out a deal.

[@nxcko4836]

Definitely agree with you about how these platforms have changed/grew over the past year since your last video!

[@Murdered.Z34]

Easily one of the top shoetubers out there, no cringe moments, always to the point and in depth reviews/discussions. Definitely became a big fan this year. Keep up the solid vids✊🏼

[@alangreenwood870]

I’ve only ever used eBay and that was for selling. From the feedback off the buyer from sending the sneaker for authentication to end delivery took 4 days. Not got around to buying from anywhere just yet. Keep up the great work Seth.

[@Invictus-Solaris]

Seth, with regards to the GOAT order coming from the UK: it’s not about buyer’s location as it is the seller’s. It just so happens that the pair you bought at the time was by someone selling them from the UK. That’s something that can happen with any of the others as well. When it’s in those foreign countries, the length of time necessary will depend on how they handle things over there. I’ve had packages from China through StockX take more than two weeks. Side note: when they make it to the US, sometimes Customs can hold packages as well. A great video as always! This was a fun check-in with the places to see how they were doing.

[@xoshio1431]

Depends lol, my grim reapers from goat came from Germany to California in less than 3 days

[@tylrmrtwbw]

In my experience, eBay's customer service has been the most helpful with resolving issues as a seller and a buyer, which is my biggest factor in deciding which platform to use.

[@DevanRock1]

100 percent. I know I'm all over this comment section pumping up ebay, but its just because I've had better experiences in every aspect of their program. Buying, selling, customer service. They've been fantastic. I had a pair get lost in transit and I had a refund in my bank account the same day

[@avalon5109]

Yup. StockX has the worst customer service ever. eBay has always been the best at it, and ever since they started authenticating they solidified themselves as the best platform for buying sneakers.

[@Jg-wu5gs]

100% eBay the way to go, stock x crooks & zero customer service only use them for price reference& cross check sneakers from eBay lol

[@meatwadsprlte]

YES! I ordered some Sean Cliver dunks and a month and a half went by and nothing, Ebay refunded me then a week later they showed up on my doorstep. It came with a card saying that they are sorry and to keep the shoes and refund. I also ordered some Travis 1 lows and a month went by and nothing, so I got a refund, and that was that... I thought the same thing was going to happen lol... wishful thinking.

[@kevster1649]

Goat is definitely one of the absolute best sites to get some dunks from. I recently bought the dunk low pro wheat mochas for 230 at goat while they were 280 on stock x. On top of this, I received my shoes in under 5 days, pretty good stuff. (Pandas are pretty cool)

[@gangsta_pigeon8023]

do you recommend instant ship or is paying the extra fee not worth

[@JasonSmith-nw3rz]

I’ve been buying my Jordan 4 golf shoes from eBay this past year and been very happy with them. The fees are minimal, if any. StockX is just so heavy on fees both ways, it’s the app I use the least for shoes now.

[@sneakerhead4770]

They have gotten more and more greedy. Taxing both sides of the transaction

[@lllavish]

Haven’t tried GOAT or eBay yet but I’ve bought 3 pairs and sold one on StockX in the last year or so. Agree with Seth, I use it as the indicator of market price for a shoe and, with that info, it’s helpful to know when you’re getting a deal or if prices are a bit high. I will say it took longer for them to ship shoes than he experienced but authentication was usually same day

[@DevanRock1]

Give ebay a shot. I buy exclusively on ebay now, and have never waited more than 10 days to receive my shoes, and have received them in as little as 5. They always authenticate same day they receive, as long as it's a week day and not 5 pm when they get them

[@LilSis3923]

Goat is my favorite, but eBay is quickly rising up through the ranks. I usually try to buy shoes directly from Nike, but it's funny how in this experiment it ended up being the lowest quality-wise and shipping-wise. Anyways, keep up the great work! I became a fan of yours because you weren't always going for the "hype" shoes and showing us some other brands like New Balance and other Adidas shoes

[@brooklynlimoges4005]

I had a pretty great experience with eBay's authentication process it was quick and super easy. If I don't use eBay, I just buy directly from Nike.

[@alextarasenko537]

This dude doesn’t miss with helpful sneaker vids. I primarily use eBay when selling my shoes and so far I’ve had a good experience.

[@tt-ln4mc]

Also Ebay is the best, great prices, pictures of everything, and its so good being able to negotiate directly with the seller to work out a better deal

[@fiitz1252]

100%

[@cierrawilliams5000]

And fast shipping is on point

[@DylanLey]

It's significant to note that StockX's "processing fee" description says that the fee is for the authentication as well. Meanwhile, Ebay and GOAT don't charge for authentication.

[@sneakerhead4770]

Yea but they charging the buyer and seller double taxing

[@Sneaker_Fox]

I love how eBay has risen up the ranks. I’ve always relied on them. Most of my sneakers come from there. I like the factor that you have direct contact to negotiate. StockX and GOAT have high fees for international buyers… but are also reliable.

[@manun9734]

I was reluctant about Ebay but so far my last few purchases have been great and actually came ahead of schedule after authentication. I still use Stock X just to get a read on the current market trends for a particular product. Still waiting for the Dunk Lows to go down on price.

I've been watching your content for about a year now, and I love your custom series like the 20$ collection and waking up to see that you've posted

[@handaeyon]

I have the best experience buying from eBay. The other platforms charge too many fees and usually take a lot longer to ship. eBay in the past wasn't that great but they made a lot of changes over the past couple of years to make them my favorite place to buy sneakers

[@imlocolucas]

Any fakes?

[@handaeyon]

@@imlocolucas as Seth mentioned that eBay has an authenticity check on select shoes. Ones that I purchased over the past couple of months all checked out. You also have to think to yourself if a brand new shoe that usually lists more than $200 is selling for less than $100 there's an issue. If it's too good to be true it's usually too good to be true

[@khalidalshomar8174]

Great video. Using the platforms differs from country to country, some will charge import duty fees which I found StockX includes it in the final price where as GOAT does not include and I end up paying additional fees once I receive the shoes. Also the time for international shipping is different as mentioned so there’s that. But overall nice review

[@joelclementson3616]

I would love to see a video comparing the three different sites from a sellers perspective! Would definitely help for small resellers like myself to try and maximise profits

[@treyvar]

Even though GOAT is growing, I'd say the quality of their authenticators have gone down, cuz on several orders I've received damaged boxes or shoes with defects, and if a buyer wants a refund they take some of it out for return shipping even though it was their fault for letting the shoe pass in the first place.

[@triniboy05]

The thing is, authentication doesn’t have anything to do with the condition. It’s frustrating, but yeah.

[@S3c7io81]

I ordered a pair of A Ma Maniere Jordan 1s and StockX sent me a email stating the box was damaged before they shipped it.They asked if I wanted them still or if I wanted a refund. I woulda figured GOAT woulda done the same, sucks to hear.

[@triniboy05]

@@S3c7io81 that’s awesome on stockX’s part. I don’t like that they have a no return policy though, that’s probably why they take the extra steps before they ship out.

[@timothyrusu1965]

I’ve used all platforms, and personally had the best experience with stockX becuase I live in Canada, so the import taxes are included on the final price of the shoe, as opposed to goat which charges me unexpectedly. Either wait they are both really good platforms and will continue to use them for buying my sneakers. I was just going to buy a pair of black and white dunks in the near future but I’ll wait just a little bit longer until the giveaway ends just in case

I gotta say eBay is definitely the best imo. Best prices and pretty fast shipping although I was surprised Seth got it in 3 days it’s more like a week in my experience. GOAT takes forever and StockX has crazy high fees. Although StockX bid function is really great since you can pay what you want

[@cderzy]

best prices?? in my experience ebay is almost always the highest price

[@sneakerhead4770]

I only got maybe 4 pairs on eBay usually got them in 4 days. StockX and goat usually 7-10 but sometimes 2 weeks. Once goat took close to a month. Think it came from overseas and took forever and the same night I ordered those on goat I ordered a pair on eBay which came in 4 days

[@ralphwebb7655]

Ebay killing it for me in the UK right now. I'm picking up so much heat on there, with prices a good notch below StockX. Authentication and shipping from the authenticator is so quick too, cleared and then in hand usually the next day. EBay sometimes do random promo codes which knocks an extra 5-10% off, definitely my favourite platform to cop on.

[@ashleycullum85]

EBay good? Isn’t it over £100 you get authenticity guaranteed?. I’m looking but not sure if some are fake because they are low price
