I’ve just listed my Pelagos 39 at a reasonable price, think it’s lowest on there and got an offer I’m happy with.

Because it’s over £1.5k it’s covered by the authenticity guarantee, which means I post it to eBay to get it checked out first and they then forward it on to the buyer.

Anyone had any problems with this?

Obviously it protects the buyer as they know they are getting a genuine watch but I think it also provides an extra guarantee to me as eBay get to see it first so the buyer can’t do a dodgy claim against me.

My Pelagos 39 sold over the weekend so I posted it to eBay yesterday for authentication, it was delivered to them at 11am and then by 2pm I had a notification to say it was ok. Funds being paid to me tomorrow.

Couldn’t have been easier and no risk of the buyer trying to mess me around.

I actually sold when it was 80% off final seeking fees and the buyer used a 10% off watches code so they probably lost £250 on this transaction
