According to eBay, eligible items listed for $500 or more will feature the eBay Authenticity Guarantee checkmark. They will be scrutinised through eBay’s authentication process once purchased.

eBay luxury global GM Tirath Kamdar said: “Our top priority is to respond to the ever-evolving needs of our customers and continuously delight luxury shoppers and sellers.

“Launching a consignment service builds on the momentum of offerings like Authenticity Guarantee and Certified By Brand, giving our customers more trusted ways to buy and sell on the marketplace.”

eBay’s consignment service comes closely after several recent fashion category announcements, including the expansion of its Authenticity Guarantee service to new and pre-owned streetwear.

In July this year, the e-commerce retailer acquired Certilogo, an AI-powered authentication provider.

Earlier this year, eBay acquired 3PM Shield, a company that provides artificial intelligence-based online retail solutions.
