eBay Sneakers 2 eBay Inc.Key FactsBefore a sneaker order ships, the seller will now be required to send it to an “independent third-party authentication facility for a comprehensive, multi-point physical inspection,” eBay said. eBay is partnering with Sneaker Con, a company that hosts large conventions for sneakerheads, to run the facility. After verification, eBay will use expedited shipping to send the sneakers to the buyer. The service will launch this month and will eventually include all sneaker sales over $100 by early 2021. eBay sold nearly that many pairs of sneakers in North America in 2019, the company said.
