You didn’t talk about the NFC tag they put on the authenticated pairs, it’s a lot better than the useless StockX tag.

Biggest gripe I have with the eBay authentication is that it adds like a week and a half to most of my shipping times. Shoes can sit at the third party hub for over 5 days before they get authenticated. What that tells me is that this hub has a backlog, and if they have a backlog, then they'll be under pressure to move quickly and get shoes out the door. That will lead to shoes that may or may not be authentic being given the seal of approval, because the employees will be in a rush to get shoes checked. They likely need to increase their staff while maintaining a high level of training so that shoes are still carefully checked. Hopefully just some growing pains, but certainly not a perfect system yet.

Love selling on ebay. No fees are the move!

[mateob]

Thanks hes for always posting and making my day!

[MichaelSilverMedia]

Love that they legit check for free. 12-14 days is long though. That can be sped up and we know eBay has the funds.

Great video. As a shoe seller on eBay, I also think that this is a great service eBay is providing for it's buyers and sellers. I have not had any issues with sneaker authentications and all transactions went smoothly.

[trewright]

Yea do that, and show us the whole steps of selling in there

[purpletruths]

Even though I see that 100% positive rating I need that authentication lol

[alonzor]

Lets def see seller perspective from your end. Have a blessed day!

[ITSSNOREMAC]

How long did shipping take for you? Because I ordered some Ice Blue 8’s with the guarantee on it he 17th and it’s been “at the hub” in NY since the 20th so for 8 days now. I’m just wondering when I’ll even get em at this point😂🤦🏽‍♂️ it’s been 11 days all together.

Sup Hes, wondering, you sell any of those cool tie dye hoodies on your EBay ? Thanks for the content as always.

Love that they they’re doing this now. HATE it takes so long. Kicks have been sitting at the authentication hub for 5 days now.

I’m glad you had a good experience. I tried it and eBay lost my shoes in the authentication hub. They gave a full refund which was nice but I would have much rather had the shoes—especially for the price.

[damienjeremyweir]

The black ones look much better than I thought they would, the matt finish on the black overlays does help the aesthetic, nice cop 😉

I’ve bought 4 shoes from them and all great transactions. My issue is I’ve sold 1 shoe and it was a nightmare. Even though they were authenticated by sneakercon, the buyer disputed the charge through PayPal that it was “different” than the posting. Paypal automatically sided with the buyer and opened a case and and after two weeks of dealing with back and forth crap, then ended up siding with me because they confirmed it was verified by their authentication service. No shit... they should automatically deny that crap or side with the seller if it was authenticated. I basically had to take the burden of proving my side.

Thanks for the video, I was looking into buying some fire red 5's

[GNo]

I like the overall process just a little slower than I like. Also, there shouldn’t be a verification needed for GR shoes. I’m waiting almost 2 weeks for a pair of GR New Balance 991s and a pair of GR Air Max 90 Turquoise.

The eBay authentication process has been both fast, it adds a few days to my shipments but nothing I can’t live with, and reliable for my purchases recently, that and here in the UK EBay is also partnered up with nectar, which gives you points on each purchase from various shops, cafes, services etc that you can accumulate and then turn into discount vouchers, so it’s actually become my primary place for purchasing new sneaker resells should I unfortunately miss out on drops.

Yo great video as alway. Where did you get your saber hilts?

[DestroyerDuck]

How is nobody talking about those dope knife skills?
