Authenticity and anti-counterfeiting: what an agent can and can’t do
An agent buys and ships the listing you choose — it can’t authenticate items for you. Here’s what QC can and can’t confirm, and how to shop responsibly.
It’s important to be clear-eyed about what a shopping agent is: a service that buys the exact item you pick and forwards it to you. That role has limits worth understanding before you order.
What an agent does — and doesn’t
The agent purchases the listing you choose from the seller you choose, checks it for visible quality, and ships it. It does not authenticate items, grade brands, or guarantee a seller’s claims. Those choices — and their consequences — are yours.
What QC can and can’t confirm
- QC can show colour, size, stitching, prints and obvious defects.
- QC can’t confirm authenticity, materials testing, or legal status.
Shopping responsibly
Pick sellers with a solid track record, read listings and reviews, and learn your country’s import and intellectual-property rules — branded or IP-infringing goods can be held or seized by customs, and that’s the buyer’s risk. When in doubt, choose a clearly-described, reputable listing.
You are responsible for what you choose to import and for complying with your own country’s laws. Confirm item details with the seller and the official Wheebuy site; this guide can’t assess any specific listing.
Common questions
No. An agent buys the specific listing you select from the seller you choose and ships it — it doesn’t authenticate goods or vouch for a seller’s claims.
No. QC photos show visible quality — colour, size, stitching, obvious defects — not authenticity or legal status.
Choose reputable sellers, read listings carefully, understand your country’s import and intellectual-property rules, and accept that you’re responsible for what you choose to import.
