eBay Australia has expanded their Authenticity Guarantee to include luxury wallets, with the service covering men’s and women’s new and pre-loved luxury wallets from top brands like Dior, Gucci and Louis Vuitton over AUS$350.
This will obviously impact you if you are an Australian seller of wallets, but will also have an impact if you list directly on the Australian site, perhaps using local fulfilment.
Data from eBay Australia has shown that Aussies are willing to drop some serious dough on luxury wallets, with the most expensive wallet sold on ebay.com.au in 2022 being a Louis Vuitton Soft Trunk Wallet Clouds sold for over AUS$3,500. This beautiful piece was designed by Virgil Abloh while leading Louis Vuitton’s menswear division.
eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee will offer Aussies enhanced trust and transparency where eligible items are identified by a blue tick on eBay and once bought, are expertly verified at eBay’s Sydney authentication facility – at no extra cost to the buyer or seller. For shoppers across Australia, eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee is your chance to challenge and change what it means to buy, sell and love fashion.
Giving fashion lovers peace of mind is our top priority. By introducing Authenticity Guarantee for luxury wallets, we’re driving fashion forward and democratising sustainable luxury for one and all.
With this expansion of our authentication service, customers shopping on eBay.com.au can make fashion go further by buying and selling pre-loved items with confidence – knowing that each item has been thoroughly inspected and verified by our team of experts.

In addition, eBay is also extending the list of eligible luxury brands under its Authenticity Guarantee service for handbags. Now, over 10 new luxury brands will be added to the designer list eligible for eBay’s handbag and wallet Authenticity Guarantee service, including Dolce & Gabbana, Loewe, MCM, Mulberry and Versace.
