Secure Your Dream Pair With Confidence With eBay's Authenticity Guarantee

Whether you’re looking to secure your grail pair of sneakers or are just wanting to add to your everyday rotation, you can now shop with confidence with eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee which has finally arrived in the UK.

For any sneakerhead, it comes at a risk when you’re copping a sold-out pair from a reseller, but with the Authenticity Guarantee you can cop with confidence and the guarantee that you’re shopping authentic, OG designs. The check is currently only available for Nike, adidas and New Balance with more brands set to be added to the list soon.

So what exactly is the Authenticity Guarantee? First up, the process is free and covered by eBay which means the worry of fakes is firmly out the window. The pair is firstly sent off to an independent authenticator with a fast and tracked delivery to be assessed and legit checked by those with a keen eye for detail and who know the ins and outs of every silhouette and colourway.

That’s right, they really know their stuff, so your newly secured grails will be checked top to toe for any inaccuracies or manufacturing errors that could mean the shoe isn’t legit.

Next up, once your sneakers have been verified and passed through the multi-point check a unique NFC-enabled tag will then be attached to the pair noting the authenticity status of the shoe. This also means you can re-list the shoe in the future.

What are the terms and conditions? To pass a sneaker through the Authenticity Guarantee process they must be deadstock or new and over £150 or more through eBay’s Fixed Price or Auction Listing. The listings will also receive that famous blue tick so you can easily spot a legit shoe in a search.
