Sneakers · Quick checks

Good for: The size tag and the outsole both appear in the listing photographs, and the seller's ratings hold up.

Confirm: Whether the retail box can come off before packing — on shoes that is a genuine saving.

QC focus: Ask to see the size tag photographed, plus the outsole before the parcel is packed.

Trap: Brand stock photography with nothing from an actual warehouse, and a price well below comparable rows.
