Authenticity guarantee

As a Seller I occasionally come accross luxery brands and have need of an expert review. Does anyone know how to access ebay reviewers to check things and guarantee authenticity?

Re: Authenticity guarantee

That's not a service offered by eBay, not exactly.  Certain types of luxury items, like handbags and sneakers, will go through the Authenticity Guarantee program on their way to your buyers, if they qualify (sometimes it's optional and sometimes it's not), but eBay does not have any way to check items before you list them.  You should be as confident as possible that they are authentic before you list them, which may be going to another company or just posting pictures online for advice from other experiences sellers or collectors.

There are no "eBay reviewers" who authenticate items on demand for a seller. What you are asking for does not exist.

Re: Authenticity guarantee

Ebay does allow a buyer to send the item for authentication, I believe, for an $80 fee.

Re: Authenticity guarantee

"Yes, in some cases, an eBay buyer can send and pay for authentication. For certain categories and price points, eBay offers an Authenticity Guarantee service, where buyers can choose to add this service for an additional fee at checkout. If the buyer chooses to add the Authenticity Guarantee, they are responsible for the associated fee, and the seller is required to ship the item to the authentication facility. "

Re: Authenticity guarantee

That doesn't happen until after you buy the item.

If it qualifies for the Authenticity Guarantee, it'll be shipped there first, before being shipped to you, if it passes.

Want to wish everyone a Safe and Happy Independence Day.
