Escrow FAQ
Can escrow protect against fake luxury items in the UK?
Escrow alone holds payment but authentication before release stops fake items from being paid out. Cop 'Em can require Check 'Em verification before funds clear to the seller, protecting UK buyers from superfakes on private sales.
Escrow without authentication
Held funds help with non delivery but not replica quality if you release on receipt alone.
Always include authentication for designer watches, bags, trainers, and jewellery.
Authentication before release
The seller is not paid until Check 'Em passes at /authentication-service.
