Thanks for posting about this & about the site itself. @plight very pretty set! I hope you get a nice price for that!
Chris just responded to Ralli Roots’ video on the subject & Ryan pinned Chris’s response:
“Appreciate the video. No counterfeits, receipts, and bank statements with friends weren’t sufficient chain of custody proof from suppliers. eBay actually rewarded me with lower fees bc of volume, that’s why I have an NDA from eBay fashion and their legal department. eBay did not reach out beyond asking for invoices. No red flags with IRS bc checks and receipts to suppliers is enough for them, they aren’t checking for provenance. After January 19th, eBay actually gave me lower fees in the sneaker category bc the promo for 0 fees ended, I cannot disclose the terms of the fees; however, I can assume that eBay already did their homework, or they wouldn’t give me lowered fees, that’s a pretty big deal. I would guess managed payments/payment processor suspended me bc eBay wasn’t able to help when I reached out. Could be above them. It’s possible I could be reinstated, but unlikely if the risk was deemed too high. Also, all one of one’s are tracked, so they know where they are from and I actually think eBay and Nike both know the origin. I’ll make a formal response video later, today is baby day. Cheers!”
I look forward to learning more from his upcoming video soon.
All I know is a MAJORLY miss Jay and Ryanne’s Podcast, it’s needed now more than ever! I’ve started the YT videos all over again just so I can pretend it’s still on. <3
I’ve been watching/listening to Chris consistently for the past 2 years. He mentioned that he had sourced shoes from a celebrity contact/friend of his a long time ago so that’s not anything new or anything he was hiding. All of the sneakers were authenticated by eBay and the customers were happy, satisfied customers. Some of these sneakers were vintage & some were promos etc., given to this celebrity friend. He didn’t have any invoices because you can’t have invoices for these types of “gifts” given to celebrities. Celebrities notoriously get freebies so this isn’t anything new either, however, I do understand why eBay would want an invoice but if this is the case then sellers should have to scan the invoice prior to listing or something. I have my original Nike “pleather” sneakers from 1981-1982 but I don’t have the receipt from when I was 12-13 y/o so I guess I’ll never be able to sell them. Lol. But in all seriousness, I want to learn more about what items we need invoices for and what items we don’t. I also find it interesting that eBay is pushing designer shoes, sneakers & designer handbags & watches now & I’m not in love with where they are heading, and Poshmark is creating a total mess with my sales down 90% on there since they tweaked their “algorithm”. I’ll end my post by saying, I really wish Jay & Ryanne would pretty please create a new podcast 🙂 read the alphabet, I don’t care, I just miss you guys!! 🙂
