eBay (Legit Yeezy Sellers)
Known for offering second-hand goods, eBay is one of the best source to find and buy legit Yeezys without the high profit margin from resellers.

Tips for Buying Yeezy from eBay
Buying from the legit sellers I mentioned above should avoid the risk of buying fakes, but what if you want to buy from different eBay sellers? Here are a few tried and tested tips:
- Make sure the listing include high-quality photos in different angles so you have an idea what the shoes exactly look like.
- Carefully read the listing description and it should include detailed information like model, size, colorway, condition etc.
- Check the seller profile and read the feedbacks. Make sure the reviews are positive especially when it comes to Yeezy.
- Try to do some research on the seller and see if the seller has a positive history. A simple Google search for "does "username" sell legit Yeezy" might give you some results.
- Ask for a "legit check" in social media platform like reddit, FB group etc. or ask if any other users have purchased anything from this seller before.
- Message the seller if you have any questions or concerns about the listing.

Online Website Resellers & Marketplace
Another option other than eBay are reseller websites and online marketplace. The upside is, these websites usually authenticate the shoes before putting them on the market so you can be sure you're buying an authentic one. The downside is, the prices are usually a lot more expensive compare to eBay.

Tips for Buying Yeezy from Resellers and Marketplace
As with my eBay buying tips above. Here are some other tips when it comes to buying from resellers and online marketplace.
- Buy from reputable resellers only with great reviews and history online. The one I listed above are great.
- Make sure they authenticate the items before they sell them so you don't have to worry about fakes. A lot of resellers do this so why bother with the ones that don't.
- Find out their refund or return policy just in case you need to return your Yeezy for whatever reason. Note: Most have a strict policy on this.
- Find out shipping logistics. As with other things you buy online -- find out shipping cost, if they ship to your country and how long it will take to ship.
- Make sure you can easily reach them by email, phone or social media. Don't hesitate to ask questions before buying if you have any concerns.
- Shop for the best price. There's a lot of buy/sell marketplace online so it's a competitive market. Check out a few of them and see where you can find the best deal.
Authorized Yeezy Sellers
Authorized sellers are physical or online stores that sell Yeezy for retail price. This is of course the best place to buy Yeezy as there's no markup and you definitely don't have to worry about buying fakes. The only issue is, most Yeezy are sold quickly on release day so once they are all gone then you're out of luck. If you don't end up copping one on release day then your only choice are the resell market or wait for a restock.
Footlocker: If you are looking for Yeezys and other athletic products, then Footlocker is a safe bet. Shop online or visit one of their retail store.
