Sneaker authentication issues?
Anyone having authentication denied issues with NY? I just received notice a pair of Nike tennis shoes. $80 that I got at Nike outlet in a marked box, were not authentic. They were dh0219’s. New Size 12. Looked great. This happen to anyone else. (Similar story). Thx

·2 years agoI personally removed all items and try not to list anymore that go into "Authenticity Guarantee" bucket after eBay turned off couple of sneakers that were DOUBLE authenticated before. There are other platforms I can sell from. I also know cases were people sold their own high-end designed items officially purchased from legit retail locations and were turned off as not authentic. My recent purchase of brand new authenticated Nike Dunks for my son on eBay raises big concern after a month of use and I'm going to discuss it with Nike soon.
To summarize: Sorry eBay but your authentication is VERY VERY questionable process.

·3 years agoYou can bypass the authentication program entirely by listing the shoes as "customized". I suggest throwing in an extra pair of laces for the customization.
The service won't be free forever anyway and once it starts costing real money the buyers will not want to pay for it on lower dollar shoes.

·3 years agoI also noticed it wasn't available on a pair of shoes I was running just as auction. When I added Buy-It-Now it became available. Does that ring true with you all? Its my first time listing shoes. The Costomized idea seems much better!
