What is proof of authenticity?

Looking to get your designer handbag authenticated by a professional third party? Learn more about Mercari Authenticate.

Sellers shouldn’t list name-brand items without proof of authenticity. We may ask for further proof of authenticity if we need more information to complete a review of the listing.

This might include, but isn’t limited to:

  • Date codes
  • Receipts
  • Serial Numbers
  • IMEI Numbers (for cell phones)
  • Certificates
  • Brand markers (such as holographs or heat stamps)
