For years my husband has had a classic Rolex watch on his wish list that has become quite collectable and very difficult to find. It is the stainless steel Daytona, and it was the favorite style of Paul Newman. We thought about checking on eBay, but worried about it being safe… Then I heard about eBay Authenticate™! This program allows you to shop with confidence for your favorite luxury handbags, watches, jewelry, and collectibles such as comics and sports cards… all authenticated by experts and covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
To search eBay Authenticate, you can click here to view items sorted by category. There is an entire section dedicated to Rolex, and you can even narrow down your search by decade if you are searching for vintage! Or you can conduct a regular search and look for items marked “Authenticity Verified” (as noted below)…
An “Authentically Verified” Rolex stainless steel Dayona, the favorite of Paul Newman. They are very difficult to find right now! This one is brand new, but you can also find authentically verified pre-owned ones here, here, and here.
Scroll down to the bottom of the left side bar and select “Authenticity Verified” to narrow your search.
eBay Authenticate sellers are a select group of top sellers whose authentication capabilities or products have been rigorously vetted by independent experts. If you have doubts about the authenticity of your purchased item, contact the seller and return the item in its original condition and with the eBay Authenticate tag attached (where applicable). The item will undergo another inspection, and if experts are unable to verify authenticity, you will receive a full refund.
I was so excited to learn about this feature that I decided to check out a few things on my wishlist, because it’s always fun to treat yourself during the holidays as well! 🙂 Here are some ideas straight from my wishlist that would be perfect gifting ideas for any special lady on your shopping list… including you!
Antiques and one-of-a-kind items are also a perfect gift idea, and you can click here to find my secrets for shopping for these things on eBay. Sterling silver is also a lovely gift idea. Beginning at age 13, my Nana would give me sterling to add to my Grand Baroque flatware collection every Christmas and birthday. You can read my tips for shopping sterling silver on eBay here.
