The Problem with Vinted/Depop Football Shirt Shopping 

Yeah - I wasn’t sure if it was, but it was certainly not available at that price

Yeah if you can see the tags adn teh tags are wrong it helps. generic "Adidas Jsy" is usually a dead giveaway.

Yes. I've picked up real shirts on vinted/depop for sure. But you really have to be careful. Whatnot I have got about 98% genuine- and those that weren't were genuine mistakes on the sellers part. Sorry for the outbidding haha

Played for Palermo - I’ll take it!

I think it’s one or two sellers with multiple new accounts. If you can see the label check out the code on it.

That’s the route I’m taking too. I did check their rules- if it’s fake you should get refund and not have to return it. However the number I’ve reported that are obv fake and vinted say “sorry looks fine to us” doesn’t leave me confident. I find the fakes are all uploaded early morning and Tbf I think most dissapear within a day or two. I’ve noticed some patterns that I might share at some point after I’ve done some more digging.

Cord? (I think this autocorrected from code maybe?) But yeah tags is always way to go- but I also had some sellers waste my time. Photographing the tags should be a requirement.

Just look at the place of the code for NIKE shirt. You can easily know that’s fake.

Buying off DHgate and selling for double. Shirts are good quality though

Yeha exactly. I'm on fence about fakes but if they arent transparent about it. If you dont ask they wont tell you its fake.@@bigfatolly1482

​@@bigfatolly1482 ain't it illegal tho?

Brand new when they release, yes. But throughout the season, second hand, or older shirts are cheaper

Thanks for replying mate, im currently considering buying an Ac Milan 24/25 home jersey listed for £30 on vinted. What do you think? You could see it if you look it up on vinted.

@@SiMaggioFootballI need some advice

@@cathalkirwan9702 at that price almost certainly a fake. Just for a picture of the code

@@SiMaggioFootball i asked for a picture of the tags, the jerseys has all the tags on it, its not second hand. So what do i look out for when he sends me the tags up close?

Sorry, yes there are certainly real shirts on there. I've bought some myself. The video was more to highlight the issue with the volume of fakes.

Ask to see the product tags. If they refuse to show product tags/ don’t respond it’s likely fake

@@SiMaggioFootball yes I asked if they could confirm whether the product was real or not with tags and was aired so steered clear. In general older kits n training wear from the last World Cup are on discount heavily on pro direct and sports direct. Was thinking of buying some pieces looks good if you’re thinking of purchasing any

@@arjunsandhu7747 I also go older stuff anyway - forget overpriced new stuff

@@SiMaggioFootball yeah you are right. Nike charge over a 100pound for gym wear essentially. I only ever buy things like that when they’re on sale after the season or tournaments then it’s worth it 👍🏽

You definitely do. I know what the websites are. Some fakes are very close to the real ones now it’d be hard to tell without checking the codes. I’m sorry to say if you’ve just been buying loads off there without checking you’ve probably bought fakes.

Which ones. They are 100% fake. It’s very easy to tell for most.
