They will be expanding to more pre-owned sneakers in the next few months!

Love ur vids. You are literally the best KZread in the sneaker game (all things that I’m into like sneaks, sweats, socks, etc...). Salute
Thanks for the video, I was looking into buying some fire red 5's
Biggest gripe I have with the eBay authentication is that it adds like a week and a half to most of my shipping times. Shoes can sit at the third party hub for over 5 days before they get authenticated. What that tells me is that this hub has a backlog, and if they have a backlog, then they'll be under pressure to move quickly and get shoes out the door. That will lead to shoes that may or may not be authentic being given the seal of approval, because the employees will be in a rush to get shoes checked. They likely need to increase their staff while maintaining a high level of training so that shoes are still carefully checked. Hopefully just some growing pains, but certainly not a perfect system yet.

The eBay authentication process has been both fast, it adds a few days to my shipments but nothing I can’t live with, and reliable for my purchases recently, that and here in the UK EBay is also partnered up with nectar, which gives you points on each purchase from various shops,cafes, services etc that you can accumulate and then turn into discount vouchers, so it’s actually become my primary place for purchasing new sneaker resells should I unfortunately miss out on drops.

I’ve bought 4 shoes from them and all great transactions. My issue is I’ve sold 1 shoe and it was a nightmare. Even though they were authenticated by sneakercon, the buyer disputed the charge through PayPal that it was “different” than the posting. Paypal automatically sided with the buyer and opened a case and and after two weeks of dealing with back and forth crap, then ended up siding with me because they confirmed it was verified by their authentication service. No shit... they should automatically deny that crap or side with the seller if it was authenticated. I basically had to take the burden of proving my side.
Love that they they’re doing this now. HATE it takes so long. Kicks have been sitting at the authentication hub for 5 days now.

No padding or bubble wrap in the box?
Still can't believe I got thru on the blue pair for retail.
How is nobody talking about those dope knife skills?
Any news in the adidas Ultraboost 6.0 ?????
And you are an amazing youtuber
Bought some sneakers from Ebay and a completely different pair showed up in the wrong size with the authentication tag. How does this happen?
Thanks for this. I hate how StockX is gauging sellers and buyers with additional fees, shipping plus the tax on top of that total. I also got sent fake shoes twice already. If I didn't have an original pair on hand to send them comparison pictures then they wouldn't have believed me.
What do you think about the new paypal alternative option on ebay?
My record so far has been 50/50 with the service. Bought some random SBs that don’t have bootlegs and those came all perfect. But then I ordered some Neutral Greys 1s and they ended up throwing out the wrapping for each shoe and one of the paper inserts 🤷🏻♂️
Are you doing a review on the air max 90 “Bacon”? And what is your eBay username?
I like the overall process just a little slower than I like. Also, there shouldn’t be a verification needed for GR shoes. I’m waiting almost 2 weeks for a pair of GR New Balance 991s and a pair of GR Air Max 90 Turquoise.

@Rob S that would be true in theory, but the wait is actually just because of the amount of sneakers they have received to authenticate and the queue it creates. eBay sent emails to buyers and sellers recently explaining the wait times had to do with high demand for sneakers being sent through the authentication system.

But hey to each his own if you want 4 or 5 pairs of panda sneakers that look the same it’s your prerogative.😊✌🏼 That said another excellent video man, I have to confess and I mean this from the bottom of my heart man, Ebay is a way better sneaker purchasing experience than StockX‼️‼️
