Security
No phone numbers.
Not even written on a box.
Every listing on Reborn is read before it goes live — the words and the photos. That is the difference between this and the classifieds you already know.
One we stopped
What the seller wrote
“Air Max 90, great condition. Barely worn, original box included.”
Nothing wrong with it. No number, no handle, no hint. A keyword filter would have waved it through, and so would a human skim-reading it.
What the photo showed
Written on the shoe box, in the third photo.
Reborn
Blocked before anyone saw it.
The seller was told what to change. On Yad2 or Facebook Marketplace, that listing would be online right now, and that number would belong to whoever scrolled past it.
Checked
Every listing, whatever it costs. Reborn reads the title, the description and every photo looking for one thing: an attempt to move the deal off the platform — a phone number, an email, a messaging handle, an invitation to meet.
Photos matter as much as words here, because a number on a label or a box is the obvious way around a filter that only reads text. It is not a way around this one.
A listing carrying the Checked shield passed that. It says nothing about whether the item is genuine — that is the next badge, and we keep them apart on purpose.
Authenticated
Premium sneakers are authenticated by two independent experts who both have to agree before an item passes. It happens after you buy and before the seller ships, so nothing reaches you unverified.
If an item fails, your payment is returned in full and the listing is removed. You are never left holding a fake or arguing with a stranger about it.
Included. There is no authentication fee at checkout, and there never will be — Reborn takes one commission and pays for this out of it.
You never have to give out your number
Buyers ask questions through Reborn. Sellers answer through Reborn. Nobody has the other's phone number, email, address or last name — not because we ask people to be discreet, but because the system never carries it.
Your listing shows your city, and a username you did not have to choose from your real name.
Your money will be held, not sentAt launch
At launch, payment is held by Reborn until the item reaches you, and the seller is paid afterwards — a seller who never ships is a seller who is never paid.
Reborn is not taking payments yet. We would rather tell you that than describe a safeguard you cannot use.
Locker to lockerAt launch
Delivery will run between parcel lockers across Israel: no address is exchanged, and there is no doorstep meeting with someone you found online. The anonymity above is built and working today; the lockers arrive with checkout.
