eBay Announces New Partnership With FedEx For Shipping & Authentication
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Smith Collection/Gado / Getty Last week eBay and StockX announced that they’d be adding new fees to the sneakers sold on their websites and now eBay is making a new announcement as they’ve revealed that they will be partnering with FedEx for both shipping and authenticating purposes.

It seems like they’re finally being heard as the delivery service is taking a new step to ensure their customers get their footwear delivered. According to Business Wire, FedEx will begin taking pictures of their delivered packages that don’t require a signature to show and prove that their drivers didn’t pocket the package and show the customers exactly where it was left. Unfortunately that leaves the door open for a neighbor or someone just passing by to up and take the goods once FedEx drivers leave the scene. Still, the higher ups at FedEx feel this is the best way for their cust...
