Posh will authenticate items over $500, but for items under that price point it can be intimidating to take the chance. I can help. My name is Alana Harris and I have been a professional luxury brand authenticator for over 15 years in South Florida. I am an avid posh shopper and over the years I’ve witnessed so many good poshers get scammed on items under the $500 threshold. If you’re willing to invest the $20 to ensure your item is authentic without dealing with the hassle of a return battle (that too many good buyers lose) simply follow the steps below. How it Works . . 1) Purchase a $20 authentication listing. . . 2) Go to “My Purchases” and click this listing. Then click “Message Seller”. . . 3) Share the information for the listing you would like authenticated. This can be a screenshot that shows the item and seller handle, or you can simply text out the seller name and title of the listing. . . I will respond promptly with detailed authentication information and/or recommendations. A certificate with the item’s picture will be mailed if the item is authentic. . . If the item is not authentic or I cannot properly authenticate the item and give a definitive yes or no verdict, a refund will be issued. . . Brands eligible for authentication services and certification: Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Dior, Bottega Veneta, Versace, Valentino, Hermes, Saint Laurent, Burberry & Jimmy Choo
