ADIDAS BOOST Thread - PAGE 1 for INFO- *NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING*

[joeoh29]

Still rock my black OG Pure Boosts, bought July 2014. The Boost is dirty as **** but they're still one of my favorites, even 7 pairs of Boost later (Rockets, Adios's, Stan Smiths, etc).

nice dude i wear these all the time.. car wash shoes and theyre still going strong.. brown boost and all!

Never selling $200+ sneakers on eBay. These scams are horrible...

 

[rioibrs]

to the people who own both : overkill or bait eqt?

 

[FullMax97]

Baits are more subtle and material more premium

Overkills are more loud and colors are really nice. But materials aren't as nice

I'd go with Overkills over Baits, but if you don't like the burrito tongue go with Baits, OK tongue is the most prominent of all EQTs

I've found Boost to wear very gracefully. It has molded to my foot shape over time and the bounce is still as good as ever. I know because I have an OG camo right next to them that I haven't worn nearly as much...

yeah I helped my brother sell a pair of shoes. 2 months later the buyer claimed item was fake. I provided original receipts and even emails from nike proving authenticity. Paypal decides in buyers favor and requires the buyer to ship back the shoes. Buyer ships back an empty box, I contact paypal and they ask me to submit more evidence (my original shipping receipt shows 4lbs, the buyer sent back an empty box with the label indicating 1lb). Sent over this evidence, and Paypal STILL sided with the buyer and refunded the money back to the buyer. I've spoke with 4 different Paypal customer service representatives all throughout the claim from beginning to the end and provided any and every evidence I could and each time the representative reassured me that I'm likely to win. And every email I get from Paypal the following day, is telling me I lost the case.

yeah this is absolutely the worst experience I have had ever. This is why I don't resell because I hear stories about scams all the time. But I was very detailed and careful with this transaction by creating a detailed invoice and stating 100% authentic and keeping ALL my receipts from Nike receipts to shipping receipts to text messages saying the buyer received my item. Somehow I still lost this case, so there was absolutely zero seller protection. Paypal basically did not follow ANY of their rules or guidelines for their "Seller Protection Policy". I did everything they asked me to do but I still lost the case. I am just extremely confused by the final decision by Paypal. They're literally enabling scamming.

And yeah their reps are terrible, ones telling me one thing meanwhile the claims specialists deciding another. 3 of those 4 reps very specifically said "if the buyer does not send back the original item in the original condition, REST ASSURE that they will NOT refund the buyer", yet they refunded the buyer anyway when I called and provided photo evidence of an empty box returned back to me.

@The U

Sounds worse than his case since seller actually returned used. Got a "courtesy" refund from Paypal.

Yeah I vaguely remember that story and now just looked through his post to see what happened. I don't know what the follow up story is but a "courtesy" refund from Paypal back to the seller (me and @The U ) and I will take it. But I highly doubt Paypal is gonna do anything about it. I have nothing left. I just let this scammer in Cincinnati and Paypal rob me.

Drive over to him and beat his *** lmao

Honestly if you're gonna sell on ebay, you might as well just sell on stockx/goat. You're gonna get charged the same fees anyways and shipping is easier to deal with on stockx/goat. As for PP invoice transactions, I rather go on reddit.com/r/sneakermarket so you know who your buyer is.

 

[jayocampo]

Burgundys look like MC 3.0s lmao

 

[dukes23]

Ready for the 5.0 lol

 

[ttngu234]

Pass. Without the 2 pattern knit, the toe looks awfully long.

They don't care about recordings unfortunately, they'll just say you spliced together recordings or edited the video or recorded it and then switched out the shoes

yeah Paypal doesn't accept video recordings because they claim videos can be altered/edited to work out in your favor.

yea what i got out from my whole situation is that , nobody has a clue as to what counts as evidence. Even when eBay closed the case they gave me the generic "the item was not in the same condition as the one you sent"..... i'm like dawg, it's a completely different shoe! And it's like eBay takes the word from the buyer that i'm scamming him? then when he returns the item, eBay believe my word that the item isn't what he claims that i sent him....

basically here's how ebay claims reps work.

 

[FullMax97]

That's how they work if it's a double sided coin with each side siding with the buyer

 

[DesD1]

Screw both of them they on the same level as the IRS and the government as awhole , those bastards

 

[bobert78]

Which knit pattern is right for the 4.0

 

[misterly]

These are so nice in person

 

[macg0120]

The more pics I see of the bait the more I want them. Hopefully next week drop would drop the price to 300

Settling for resale I see

Team never hit PRESENT haha

I recently had a little situation with PayPal but the guy claimed the item got damaged in Shipment and returned me the same thing damaged. Not as bad but still annoying. If selling on eBay unfortunately PayPal is a necessary evil and everyone says use stockx or goat but certain items can and will only move on eBay. You can't get $100 over On a gr Jordan with the apps but it's possible on eBay
