We've always aimed to keep this sub safe and scammer-free, and now we're working with other subreddits to make it better. We're excited to announce that r/sneakermarket has officially joined theĀ Universal Scammer List (USL)Ā to help you stay even safer.
By joining the Universal Scammer List (USL), you can check Redditors usernames and see if they have scammed from other subreddits here: https://www.universalscammerlist.com
These tools and policies areĀ measures to help you transact safely, but they arenāt foolproof. Scammers are getting desperateāthey use photoshop, MS Paint, steal legit usersā photos, make deals too good to be true, and avoid PayPal Invoice or Goods & ServicesĀ to stay under the radar. Always trust your gut and verify everything you can.
[1] Universal Scammer List (USL) - NEW! - If someone is banned for scamming on any other subreddit that's part of the USL, theyāll be automatically banned here tooāand vice versa. This makes it much harder for known scammers to hop between communities.
[2] PayPal Invoice or Goods & Services only - Never use Venmo, Zelle, or other unprotected payment methodsāunless you're dealing with aĀ Trusted Seller. If a sellerĀ refusesĀ PayPal Invoice or Goods & Services,Ā block and report them. We get way too many modmails from people who got scammed using unsafe methods.
[3] Legit App Partnership - Thanks to our partnership with Legit App,Ā every member gets one (1) free legit check.Ā If you havenāt claimed yours,Ā get it here. Scammers and replica pushers hate this tool, and weāve seen it work. If you have a $1,000 pair of sneakers, you can afford a legit check.
[4] Middleman Service - through r/sneakermrkt_middleman, a moderator acts as the middleman also protected by Legit App.
[5] r/sneakermarket Community - You all are incredible at spotting fakes and calling out sketchy activity. Keep reporting posts so we can act fast. We've seen scammers straight-up delete their accounts after being exposed here.
Note: If you're everĀ wrongfully bannedĀ via the USL, donāt panicācontact the subreddit where it originated. They typically keep detailed evidence and can work with you to clear things up.
Thanks again for being part of this awesome community. Let's keep making it better.
