That's great news. It will save a lot of sellers and buyer headaches.

@lex-talon I think so ... my only thing is why wait for the authentication after the sale... I would like it to be BEFORE the sale... before you list it

I wonder which company/companies they'll be using. Some are good but others are awful!

I am going to need more information.

Who will do the authenticating? Will they be hiring people off the street and give them a list of things to look for or will it be people with years of experience looking for the little details that are important.

How much is this going to cost? Who pays shipping there and back? Something like a large handbag could cost $15 shipping each way on top of whatever they charge for the service itself.

I was under the impression that the item would have to be shipped to Ebay for authentication. Who pays for the shipping there and back? who is going to pay the double the money back? The seller? Ebay?

What happens to an item that Ebay deems fake?Is something that is deemed fake by a person who may or may not have experience in the brand get destroyed? What kind of appeal process will a seller have?

Does Ebay take responsibility for the condition of the item once they open the package, inspect it and repackage it to send to a buyer like they do with GSP? (How many sellers complain now about things getting lost or broken at the GSP center?)

This sounds like a good program, but honestly I do not have enough confidence in Ebay being able to pull it off.

This program will be very fun to try out once it is laynched.

I wonder how much the fee is...10%? 50%

Seriously...Ebay is going to HIRE people to "authenticate" items?

I want to know WHO these people ARE and what expertise they have.

In the meantime, I'll just purchase items based on my own ability to decide if it's authentic...like Ive done since 1998.

Ridiculous move!!!

After bring here since 1998 and having a few run ins with eBay, where their VERO dept falsely accused me of selling fakes (had invoices from their own distributor!) ......I know NOT to trust them.

Ebay is known to be decidedly pro buyer, will this new group be pro buyer (everything is fake) too?

mupcycledcouture · ‎01-12-2017

I remember when Gucci Vero took down thousands of authentic listings. That was a huge mess.

theheadphonecompany · ‎01-12-2017

I've had takedowns from tech companies (dumb enough to make accusations with out even a test buy! Just guessing on their part).

But, being that VERO, NRGinternational, and bravoeye all make money for eBay - when they know the takedowns are fake - instill ZERO confidence in me that this scheme will work!
