No, StockX does not intentionally sell fake or counterfeit products. StockX is a globally trusted platform that claims to authenticate all products before they are sent to the buyer. Here is their process:
- Selling: Individuals can sell brand-new, unused products on StockX. They list the product and when it sells, the seller ships the item to StockX.
- Authentication: StockX's team of experts they call 'authenticators' thoroughly inspect each product to ensure its authenticity. This includes analyzing the details and qualities specific to each product such as fonts, labels, materials, colors, etc. If a product is found to be counterfeit, it will not be sold.
- Delivery: If the product is confirmed to be authentic, StockX then sends the product to the buyer.
However, it's important to note that no process is 100% foolproof. Cases have been reported where counterfeit products have slipped through StockX's authentication process, though these cases are relatively rare compared to the volume of products they process.
