Cop 'Em Escrow Story
What is the safe way to buy sneakers online in the UK?
Quick answer
Grail purchases from unknown resellers need escrow and authentication, not Friends and Family. Compare box labels to colourway, demand tagged photos, and use held funds until trainers arrive and pass verification.

Missed SNKRS again. Reseller on Instagram has my grail but wants PayPal Friends and Family. What is the safe way to buy sneakers online in the UK?

Do not use F&F for grails. You lose payment protection and fake pairs are everywhere. Cop 'Em escrow at /services/escrow/sneakers holds funds until delivery plus authentication.

What about fakes?

Include Check 'Em in release conditions. Payment does not clear if the pair fails. See /services/escrow/jordan for model specific guidance.
