eBay adds stolen‑watch database checks to luxury watch authentication service
eBay has integrated Enquirus into its Authenticity Guarantee service across the UK, US, and Germany, adding a layer of protection for luxury watch transactions. Every watch authenticated through the program will now be cross‑checked against Enquirus’ global database of lost and stolen timepieces, enhancing trust and transparency in the pre‑owned luxury watch market. The partnership aims to strengthen confidence for buyers and sellers by ensuring that each authenticated watch undergoes a comprehensive multi‑point verification of authenticity, condition, and provenance. With more than 15 million items authenticated worldwide since 2020, eBay’s expanded service underscores its commitment to safety and reliability in high‑value goods trading.
