How do I get sneaker authentication? Do I just list them normally or do I have to do something first? I have two pairs of VANS that I think I should have authenticated. Thank you!

Vans are one of the brands that are eligible.

Read more about it here:

eBay Authenticity Guarantee | eBay

Once you list the item and it is eligible, it gets the seal.

List the shoes individually.

Thanks! So I just list as normal. eBay does the rest. I thought I had to do something before listing them. Appreciate your help!

Authentication happens after the item sells. If the listing meets the requirements, it automatically gets the authentication program

eligible sneakers will automatically display the Authenticity Guarantee check mark in the search results and in the top right corner of the item page. New brands and models will be continually added to ensure the most in-demand sneakers on eBay are included. â€‹

Sneakers can be in New or Pre-owned condition
Sneakers must be listed in the men's or women's athletic shoe categories or kids shoes categories (boys, girls, baby or unisex)
Sneakers priced starting at $75 (with the exception of sneakers listed in the baby shoes category, with eligibility starting at $100)
Sneakers specified as customized will not be authenticated
- A sneaker is deemed to be "Customized" if it has been modified from its original state
- Examples of this include shoes with personalized elements, custom artwork, or any modifications that did not come with the original sneaker
Accessories such as laces will not be authenticated if they are noted in the listing as replacementsâ€‹
- In such cases, the condition of accessories would instead be verified against the listing

Shipping sneakers with Authenticity Guarantee

US buyers pay a flat $14.95 eBay shipping fee when purchasing sneakers that qualify for Authenticity Guarantee ($30 if the buyer is located in Canada, $45 if the buyer is in Australia, or Â£8.95 for UK transactions). We'll then send sellers a pre-paid FedEx shipping label so they can ship the sneakers to the authentication center, free of charge. If you have a buyer with a multi-quantity order for the same item and are unable to print enough shipping labels through your eBay account, please contact our customer support so we can assist.

To be eligible, sneakers must be sold on ebay.com by a seller located in the US, to a buyer with a US shipping address (including Puerto Rico). Sneakers shipped to Canadian or Australian addresses will also be eligible, if the listing is final sale.

Currently, authenticated sneakers cannot be shipped to any other locations, including unincorporated territories (incl. Guam, Virgin Islands, North Mariana Islands, American Samoa and Palau) and U.S. Armed Forces bases.

The following will not be eligible:

Items shipped to or from US unincorporated territories or army or fleet post office addresses
Listings where the delivery is local pickup or in-store pickup
Items shipped to buyers located in Canada or Australia, if returns are accepted in the listing
