| My Poupette provides different types of authentication services to fit your needs. Has eBay ENDED your auction and you need proof that your item is authentic? We can help.
Appraisals, Certificates of Authenticity, and Statements of Condition are also
available.
If you live near a boutique, it will sometimes authenticate your item(s) for free, however, it will typically not put its findings in writing, per corporate policy. This is primarily because people were switching authentic items for fake ones and using their letter as proof of authenticity. If you do not live near a retailer or want a written opinion of regarding authenticity, My Poupette can usually help.
INSTRUCTIONS
We can check eBay auctions, other web sites and your personal photos. Authentications may be done with detailed photographs or by sending the item to us via a method that will track receipt. Insurance is highly recommended. Sometimes the same method may be used for appraisals.
There are some items that we recommend be shipped for personal inspection, as photos alone are often insufficient. We will let you know!
WHERE TO SEND PHOTOS
When you receive your payment receipt, forward it to :
images @ mypoupette.com (remove spaces)
along with your photos or a the link to the item you want us to check.
