Shoe Authentification Never Again
This is a rant and also feedback to ebay (which I suspect really doesn't care that much). Ebay has consistently gotten worse and worse over the many years that I've been using it as both a buyer and seller. An example of worse for me is the " Shoe Authentification ". I recently purchased a pair of used shoes. I didn't realize that they were going to be " Authenticated ". Had I understood this, I would not have bought them. I made my purchase over 2 weeks ago....and as of this writing, I still have not received them. Supposedly they are on the way. Make no mistake, this will be the last time I buy shoes that have this "Authentication" process. I am unwilling to wait as shoes I purchase are shipped all over the country for this process. I've purchased lots of shoes on ebay....I'm not buying collectibles or investment pieces. I have never had a problem with the shoes being "REAL".

·2 years agoFake shoes are most definitely a thing... and a big money thing. Rare Nikes or many high end brands are very commonly faked.

Additionally, the shipping section of the main listing page as well as the shipping tab will clearly state the shoes are being shipped to the authenticators then to you.
