1. Is the seller trustworthy?
Expand a row in the orderbook to see trust indicators on each quote.- Green shield — Platform-authenticated (StockX, GOAT, eBay AG). Safest.
- Amber check — Top seller with strong track record on that marketplace.
- No badge — New or unverified seller. Consider authenticating yourself.
2. Does the spread survive after all costs?
The fee toggle shows platform fees, but a real trade has more costs:- Shipping to you — Free on some platforms, $10-15 on others
- Forwarding fees — If using a service like Planet Express ($5-15 per package)
- Authentication — LegitApp or similar ($3-5 per item)
- Shipping to buyer — Outbound shipping when you sell
3. Is the product liquid?
Check the Vol (7d) column on Discover. Higher volume means the product is actively trading and your order is more likely to fill quickly. Low-volume products can show attractive spreads but may take days or weeks to sell.Quick checklist
- Is the seller verified or high-trust?
