Does GOAT send fake shoes back?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

GOAT does have a policy in place for dealing with inauthentic or unsellable items that are sent to them. If you send items that are deemed inauthentic or unsellable by GOAT’s sole and reasonable discretion, the buyer will be refunded the full amount they paid for the items. This means that if you attempt to sell fake shoes through GOAT, the buyer will receive a refund and you will not be able to profit from the sale.

GOAT takes the authenticity of the items they sell very seriously. As a marketplace for sneakers and other footwear, they strive to maintain a high standard of trust and credibility among their buyers. In order to ensure this, GOAT has a team of experts who carefully inspect and authenticate every item that is sold on their platform. They have built a reputation for being a reliable source for authentic sneakers, and they are committed to upholding that reputation.

If you send shoes to GOAT that are determined to be fake, not only will the buyer receive a refund, but you will also have the option to have the items sent back to you or disposed of by GOAT. This gives you the opportunity to either correct any misunderstandings or dispose of the items if you were aware that they were inauthentic. GOAT understands that mistakes can happen, and they provide this option to ensure fairness and transparency in their marketplace.

It’s important to note that GOAT’s determination of authenticity is based on their expert team’s evaluation. They have extensive knowledge and experience in identifying genuine products, and their decision is made in their sole and reasonable discretion. It is always recommended to be honest and transparent when selling items through GOAT or any other marketplace to avoid any potential issues or disputes.

In my personal experience, I have sold authentic sneakers through GOAT and have had a positive experience with their authentication process. I have also heard from other sellers who have had their inauthentic items rejected by GOAT and had to go through the refund process. While it can be disappointing to have a sale fall through due to authenticity issues, it’s ultimately for the benefit of the buyers and the reputation of the platform.

GOAT does not send fake shoes back to buyers. If you attempt to sell inauthentic items through GOAT, the buyer will be refunded and you will have the option to have the items returned to you or disposed of by GOAT. GOAT’s commitment to authenticity and their thorough authentication process ensures that buyers can trust the products they purchase on their platform.
