Your paying for shipping no matter what company you buy from even Nike. What he is saying is that authentication process is free on ebay compared to Goat and StockX which charge you for that process.

These are 🔥! I like the fact you've been so transparent about this whole process.. this would defo help us armatures in knowing how to legit check our trainers! Are there stores you can take them to in London to have an "expert" check them out in hand?

Very insightful video, hats off to you. I know from experience eBay doesn't really communicate with their sneaker authentication subcontractors. If they tell them they don't pass then that's it. However, it's worth noting that it doesn't mean they won't pass them on a different transaction. If/when they start charging for this process I feel they need to include detailed explanations for a pass or fail. You would think sneaker con already has this data as part of their process.

After doing some research. It seems to all go down to the description! They could say your shoes didn’t pass authentification because “description didn’t match”. Which is a bit silly considering the amount of time sellers need to put into posting each listings. Good Pictures at good angles of a sneaker usually speaks for themselves, but a simple error in the item description(ex: Lining material) seems to be jeopardizing authentification.

Just happened to me. Sold a used pair of Jordan 1s and they didn’t pass bc the size tag had ripped off. It is my fault right bc I took a photo of the tag before it ripped…. So now the photos don’t match the description. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Great vid, thanks for posting. That's wild... Because ebay definitely authenticated some fire red AJ4s I got that are obviously good reps. I wasn't trying to find out, but the heel tabs are different (shorter & more flimsy) than the 2 pairs I got from GOAT & stock x. And the mesh panels. Tongue & build is solid though; I can wear them care-free. But like, if I can tell, eBay should be able to, ya know? It's not my job, and I *want* them to be real, but... 🤷🏼

Same thing just happened to me. I sold a pair of Space Jam 11s and I was quiet sure they were real before I listed them. When I got the email my heart dropped and I was like no way they were fake. I got them back today and double checked them and even ran them through Legit App and they passed. I am currently very pissed because I had to wait like a week and some change just to not get money from the sale. I actually lost money, $16 to be exact because I had to pay $8 shipping and then when they shipped them back to me they also charged me another $8 which is outrageous. This is so annoying and frustrating. I wanted to use the money I made off them to invest into other sneakers that I can flip for more, but now I can’t and will have to wait until I sell them else where.

eBay’s authentication team is a joke. I sold a pair of Golden Goose sneakers that I bought directly from an authorized retailer of this brand. I am 100% certain of their authenticity and sold two exact pairs of this style before and those passed EBay authentication. I hate that I couldn’t contact the buyer to explain that this must have been a human error on EBay’s, side as EBay turns off messaging between buyer and seller after the sale. EBay- one of the most unprofessionally run companies! When will an alternative platform take over ? I am sure million of EBay sellers are waiting to run from this joke of the company.

The bogus part was that their reasoning was that the shoes "didn't seem authentic". Thats it, no specific reason at all .

DO NOT USE EBAY IF YOU SELL SHOES! I have had a terrible week with eBay “authenticity guaranteed” I had a pair of Jordan 1 obsidians I sold on eBay they went through stockx and trade block and I got them authenticated by the legit app with 2 authenticators looking over the shoes and saying they are authentic. But eBay says they can authenticate them. I buy a majority of my shoes from local sneaker stores and this week I have had 8 or more shoes returned for the same reason “The item could not be authenticated. It’s being returned to you.” What makes it worse is they can’t authenticate but you still have to pay for returns, they restrict your account, and Nuke your listing so you can even go back and review their claims. All because they suck at authenticating.

Where else to sell?

I just had a pair of Adidas Pro Model 2G Basketball Shoes fail authentication, and I purchased them in bulk directly from Eastbay. Having multiple pairs, a few pairs had already sold and passed authentication, so it makes no sense that this last pair today would fail, especially since they are brand new in box, I have receipts. Sad to say, but I'm going to pull some of my lower-priced shoes off from authentication because this does not serve my customers. If I put the item specific that they are customs then I will not only get reduced selling fees which comes along with the sneakers category, but then these shoes will no longer have to be authenticated. If a pair of shoes is over $150 then I'll leave them to be authenticated.

earlier In the video you show a set of picture and in them there’s the Nike logo with a fuzzy stitching towards the thicker part of the check mark and it’s listed as real when you show off your pair it’s missing that type of stitching

Great video

i just recently bought a used pair of Air Max 95 from a home seller (i.e not a store seller) and they didn't pass inspection AND they were sent back to the wrong address AND they wouldn't tell me what was wrong with the shoes. What does this inspection center have against Air Max's? If the people that work there don't tell you what is wrong with the shoes then there is no way to trust them. My advice is to buy from sellers that don't use this inspection center so there is no time wasted in shipping and the shoes will go straight to you the buyer and you won't have to worry if some stoned dude at the center accidentally drools on your shoes

I just had this happen to me, I bought genuine Nike 90 trainers from Nike in 2020 and I sold them on Ebay a few days ago and it failed, WTF is going on.

I had a pair of og court purple 1s say failed inspection even though I clearly stated in the description I didn’t have the OG box and that I had a smaller size Jordan 1 replacement box. I don’t think I’ll be selling high valued sneakers on eBay anymore

So if they get shot down from eBay once, can you just never sell them on eBay now? Is there an appeal option?

Those SOBs just failed a pair of mine for “having more ware that’s described “ i posted about 15 pictures in all angles and in the description had them as “used” , they even had the original Nike box since I worn them once FFS, never again will I sell expensive shoes on eBay

I just got lightly used Nike Free Run2 that was sold as being "BRAND NEW"...Now I can't get my money back because eBay said the shoes went thru authentication... What a scam!

They look good to me as far as I can tell. But I haven’t had a pair of these. Did u try to call CS and ask them to clarify with the authenticators. They can call them and find out more I believe

Selling on EBay is not worth it anymore, and the authentication team is not doing their job properly

I just cop this fire in 9.5 us couple weeks ago from ebay. Quick look your kicks is legit. The curve in the back heel is enough for me!

How would they know if they are sold as brand new ?maybe the seller is stating that they are new and has used them at least a few times

I just had this happen with Size 8.5 - Jordan 4 Retro alternate 89 2016 they came with box and everything I have no idea why they failed. They look exactly like every shoe I checked.

I’m good with eBay for most things Iv sold but I brought a pair of off white air max 90 and apparently they got lost, the seller was paid as soon as they received the item and showed they was at authenticator but I waited 3 weeks until I went through PayPal and got my money back, very poor as the trainers just apparently disappeared 🤷🏻‍♂️

just happened to me on some lebron corks. Had it verified by multiple shops and by check check. Condition was used, but I shared all sorts of pictures showing condition.

Only a matter of time before Trading Standards get involved. Bought fakes that have been wrongly authenticated without a leg to stand on.! No we shouldn't have to suck it up.! Sneaker con UK are eBay owned.! Sorry to hear you've had problems too.

they sent me fake shoes and i cant get a refund because they authenticated them as real

I mean the one obvious difference between eBay and the other services is that eBay inspects them in hand...so something like smell can’t even be factored in on an app. That said, whoever does most volume might have lowest attention to detail...

Just had this happen to me. Sold some chunky dunkys which I got from direct from Nike so I know they are real and they still failed. They said to me that they have a 30-point process which they look at different aspects of the shoes and if they fail on one they fail the whole thing. So you can fail because of Nike bad QC. It's very frustrating that legit shoes don't get through.

They are making billions of dollars & should be able to afford it. #sneakerpolice

I recently sold some lightly used 2016 bred 1's for $320...ebay sent them back stating the shoes couldn't be verified. Got them directly from NIKE app I'll sell them in person for even more now. I just figured they would give a reason as to why the shoes couldn't be verified. Good reason to have multiple revenue streams.

Beautiful sneakers and they are definitely genuine. Are you sure eBay declined them on authenticity grounds and not another reason? I had a pair returned and turned out because they thought they showed signs of wear ie not deadstock- although this wasn’t made clear initially. Anyway, I’d love to take them off your hands as I’m a UK9 but hear they fit half size big?

Seems like all the passed authentications came from sources where you sent photos. And EBay had the actual show in their possession. Isn’t that quite different?

Exactly!

eBay rejected gold shoes I personally purchased from Nike. I can’t even find fake Jordan golf shoes or I would buy them…..

I would try them again and include in the box a print out of the authentications from the other authenticators. Don't do a sell similar on the original listing, do a new listing. In the description area of the listing, briefly state they were authenticated by two other authenticators. If customers want more information about that they will message you and if they do, forward the results to them. Also, never list these shoes as "new" on eBay!!! Only Nike and their authorized dealers can legitimately sell "new" shoes! Listed them as preowned and stated they are "preowned-displayed but never worn. If worn, even tried on and walked around the room in, don't say "never worn". People are getting rejected more because of the wording of their listings and not so much on actual fake shoes on eBay.

I just flipped a coin three times ...came up tails every time... sorry they're fakes. ..

If you call eBay and talk to their authenticity department they will tell you your your shoes are not fake but they can fully authenticate them 100% so they are going to be safe and return them to you but they will still mark them as fake even if they are not

I bought a pair of CG 11’s from Footlocker in December that I sold on eBay this week that failed authentication. It’s annoying that u can buy a shoe authentic shoe from Nike, adidas, or a shoe store in your local mall or a authorized retailer, but another human has the authority over whether or not your shoe will pass authentication.

Have you spoken to ebay about this? They say that inspection failed, that does not say they aren't genuine unless somewhere they have said that?

Might leave eBay.

I sent a pair of Sean Cliver Dunks in that I physically purchased and eBay determined that they were not authentic. Furthermore, as a result, I was issued an MC011 and am now banned from selling in the clothes/shoes/accessories categories as a result. Terrible service.

They have denied me authentication on two Hermes Bags and one Louis vuitton sending me into shock thinking I myself got takin. Its a new process and they are fucking up. Just like their customer service jobs being farmed out to cheap labor that have no recourse to resolve any problems they are doing the same with the authentication process. I dont understand why because its a great lose for them but when you pay slave wages you get what your paying for. Can we say class action lawsuit. Yep im on it.

From pics look identical to mine which were bought on Stockx.

Fyi the fakes and real are made in same city being that the people are so poor they will work at the legit company and steel the shoes dies and take them to the knock off dealer which pays them for it and will use the original dies and gets same materials and will produce them but with cheap poorer equip.
