Cop 'Em Escrow Story
How to avoid a sneaker scam on Depop in the UK?
Quick answer
Depop sneaker scams use mirror photos, off app payment, and box label mismatches. Demand in hand tagged pictures, verify labels against the colourway, and use escrow instead of bank transfer when sellers leave Depop checkout.
Customer
Jordan 1 listing on Depop, photos look mirrored and seller will not add username tag. How do I avoid a sneaker scam on Depop in the UK?
Cop 'Em
Mirror pics and no tagged photos are red flags. Next: check if they ask for off app payment. If yes, stop. Use /services/escrow/depop with authentication for Jordan purchases.
Customer
Price is fair, not too cheap.
Cop 'Em
Fair price does not fix fake photos. Label mismatch still catches buyers daily.
