What is Real Authentication?
Depop has partnered with Real Authentication, a service which digitally authenticates a selection of high-end and designer products so you can be sure the item you’re buying or selling is authentic. Any item you see within the app with a Depop green tick in the comments, or with a Real Authentication certificate has been approved by Depop through this.
We’ve done this to help support our community as they look to buy and sell high-end luxury items on Depop. This means buyers can shop for these items with 100% confidence, and sellers can easily prove if their item is authentic, significantly increasing the chance of it selling.
I’m a buyer, what does this mean for me?
- Real Authentication are a verified and trusted authentication service, recognized by PayPal and major credit card companies as experts in the authentication of luxury items.
- For any item which has been authenticated by Real Authentication you can have 100% confidence in the authenticity of the product.
- Each authenticated item should have a digital certificate confirming the item has been reviewed by the Real Authentication team.
I’m a seller, how does it work and what do I get when I use Real Authentication?
