How To Shop Safely Online - Closet Full Of Cash

This is a post that is long overdue and I’m going to break down is the easiest way possible, how to shop safely online.

Authentication aside, how you pay is even a bigger deal and if you’re not careful you could be out all your money and stuck with an item that could be anything from fake, not as described or how about a box of bricks (yes, it’s happened).

All designer resale companies take major credit cards or Paypal for payments but when your shopping off Instagram, Facebook or any App, you need to make sure your money is covered.

There are only two ways to pay, Paypal or by your credit card. DO NOT EVER pay by email, Paypal Friends and Family or any other way. You will have zero recourse if anything goes wrong and you’ll end up fighting like hell to get your money back if you even can.

The horror stories I have heard of people losing thousands of dollars to unscrupulous sellers makes me so frustrated because it could have easily been avoided. Don’t believe any sob stories, or how they’re at their limit, their account is frozen……blah, blah, blah.

Be careful where and how you’re spending your hard earned money!

BTW, I started work full time a couple of weeks ago so until I get up to speed, postings will be a little light for the next couple of weeks!

So, if you only need a business account and not the device to authenticate sneakers through Entrupy, does this mean an app is coming for handbag authentication? #pleasesayyes

This is a hard one as I love Nordstrom but, counterfeits have gotten so good that you must have a deeper authentication practice in place, no matter who you are.

“tems from brands including Aimé Leon Dore, Fear of God, Supreme, Off-White, Palace and Stone Island, Bape, Kith and Vetements, and sold for more than $200 will be eligible. By the end of September, eBay will launch additional eligible brands including Adidas, Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Burberry, Cactus Plant Flea Market, Chrome Hearts, Comme des Garçons, Dior, Eric Emanuel, Fendi, Givenchy, Gucci, Jordan, Louis Vuitton, Nike, OVO, Palm Angels, Prada, Rhude, Versace and Visvim.”

They couldn’t have done this without the acquisition of Certilogo and unfortunately, like on Poshmark, fakes will be listed at under that $200 threshold. 🔗 in my bio to the WWD article.

Is this where all the missing items that were sent to The Cobblers for restoration went to?

Using RFID at the manufacturing level and with brands like Versace, Stone Island and more, this acquisition of Certilogo by eBay is a big step in the race to blockchain all data.

Certilogo’s platform uses digital technology to empower brands and designers to manage the lifecycle of their garments, while providing consumers a seamless way to confirm authenticity, access reliable information about branded items, and easily activate circular services.

I was hesitant to post this article from @nytimes because it basically is a fluff piece for the writer and her getting one on by carrying a fake Celine in Paris. 🥱 🔗 in my bio to the ad filled article.

More information on The RealReal and their authentication practices tomorrow! 😬

So close!

Ebay backed Cudoni and now they’re saying, “Additionally, eBay plans to offer refurbished items to attract shoppers who are more price-conscious.”

I’m all for finding a great deal but this sudden increase in selling trash has to stop, especially because the price is NOT reflecting the condition.

Now this is how you do resale as a brand! Authenticity confirmed, two year warranty and that iconic wax seal straight from the brand itself. #winner 🔗 in bio to the article on @robbreport

They recently raised $9.2 million and now they’re shutting down. I do not believe this is indicative of the resale industry’s future but more of maybe bad management. 🔗 in bio to read the article on @bof

I’ve been to this literal supermarket of counterfeit goods and it was crazy! Armed men outside, each little kiosk of nothing but fake everything and it was open for business for at least 10 years! 🔗 in bio to the article

Interesting article from @voguebusiness on how Gen Z loves Dupes which are “not technically” counterfeits 🤣 Are Dupes bad for fashion brands? That’s the question…..and yes is the answer.

If you love luxury, you want to buy luxury and if you can’t afford the price points, dupes have become acceptable because we’re a “I want it now” society without thinking of the repercussions of our choices.

This leads to smaller brands who work so hard to build a name for themselves being robbed of their intellectual property from these big players in the space.
