I recently bought a luxury scarf on Poshmark that was listed as "authenticated." How can I make sure?

Poshmark authentication applies to luxury handbags and select jewelry brands over a certain price point. Poshmark sends the item to a third-party authentication partner for verification. Poshmark pays the seller and ships the item if it passes. If not, the sale is canceled and you get a full refund.

If you still have doubts:

• See if the seller has positive feedback on similar luxury items. Sellers should provide close-ups of logos, stitching, and authenticity tags.

• Use online guides to verify these details. If you're unsure or buying high-value items, use a professional authentication service that specializes in the brand or type.
