What is posh authenticate

Some purchases deserve an extra step. Posh Authenticate is our professional authentication process for select luxury items, designed to give you added confidence in what you're buying.

When you see the Authentication Included badge on a listing, it means the item will be authenticated by experts after purchase and before it's delivered to you.
