- Sneaker Connect creates shipping labels for every trade in order to track every shoe throughout the shipping process. Say goodbye to arguing about who ships first.
- Sneaker Connect collects every user's credit card number before he/she creates a listing or offer. This way, if someone attempts to scam another user, we charge that user and refund the victim. However, Sneaker Connect only uses credit card info for fraud issues. All other payment can be handled with PayPal.

The Death of eBay
The resale of sneakers is a one billion dollar industry in the United States. Most of these transactions go through eBay. While eBay may be relatively safe, they take large cuts from your profit and there are still many fraudulent people. eBay's domination over sneaker heads is about to end and here's how.
Sneaker Connect will end eBay's reign over shoes. Sneaker Connect is an iOS app that allows users to safely trade shoes for the first time. Our two step trade process makes fraud almost impossible. First, each customer receives trackable shipping labels. Second, Sneaker Connect charges fraudulent users and refunds victims of fraud. With Sneaker Connect, sneaker heads will no longer have a need to put up with eBay's risky sales and high fees.
There are two types of people that sell shoes on eBay: The ones that sell for profit and the ones that sell to buy a specific shoe. Sneaker Connect caters to both these people. Sneaker Connect can help people to get their favorite new pair of shoes while skipping the middle process of taking money from another user. In addition, Sneaker Connect can help users to profit. If a user is able to predict that a shoe will increase in value, they can trade a shoe they currently have for the shoe that will increase in value. Later, they can sell this shoe for a higher price.
Sneaker Connect will only charge users two dollars per trade in addition to shipping costs. This is much less than eBay charges when taking into account all of the hidden fees. Best of all, Sneaker Connect does not charge a listing fee. You can list as many shoes as you want and pay only if the transaction actually occurs.
Today, you can sign up for the Sneaker Connect beta at www.sneakerconnectapp.com. During this time period, users will test the functions of Sneaker Connect and help the development team to make improvements. In addition, all active beta participants will be entered into a giveaway to win a prize!
Do you want to stop eBay's control over your sneakers? Make history today and participate in the Sneaker Connect beta!

Discover how to Safely Trade Shoes
Trading shoes has always been a difficult task for sneaker heads. Although sneaker trading can have great rewards, there are many concerns that go along with it. For example, personal safety, a person not shipping, or a person shipping the wrong shoe. Even selling on eBay can by risky. I've never been much of an eBay person, but I tried to buy a pair of What The LeBron 11's and the seller never shipped them to me. I decided not to use eBay for shoes ever again.

Finally, there is a way to trade shoes without any safety concerns whatsoever. This solution is Sneaker Connect. Sneaker Connect is an iOS app that makes all shoe trades risk-free. The team at Sneaker Connect has implemented innovative safety features. Number one is the trackable shipping label.

In addition, before each trade, users must input their credit card number. If a person is found to be fraudulent, we charge their credit card and refund the victim. Credit cards are only used for fraudulent behavior so there isn't a need to worry about unnecessary credit card charges.

Sneaker Connect Trading - Our Story
The Story Behind the App
As you've probably heard, Sneaker Connect is now an iOS app designed specifically to safely trade shoes. Before we get into any details of the app, we would like to explain to you why this app is so important to us. I have been an avid sneaker head for a few years now. As I gained more shoes, I became more and more interested in trading shoes or using eBay to make purchases. As I surfed the web, I realized not a single secure solution for trading shoes existed. The only solution I saw was meeting up with nearby people, however for obvious reasons, this has serious safety implications. I even had trouble on eBay. One day, I thought I had found a steal. A pair of "What the LeBron" 11's for only $200! However, this deal turned out to be a scam. After these bad experiences, I felt that I had to do something about this. After that, Sneaker Connect was born.The Features
Sneaker Connect is the most advanced sneaker application on the market. From safety to beauty to communication, Sneaker Connect has it all.
- Safety - Our two way shoe security system makes trading secure. The first layer of security is custom printed shipping labels that can be tracked. The second layer of security is our credit card policy. Before each trade, each participant must provide a credit card that will only be charged if fraud is committed. If fraud has taken place, the victim will receive a full refund as determined by Campless.
- Beauty - Sneaker Connect has an intuitive design that makes trading shoes easy for anyone. Our quality graphics and easy-to-use controls make using Sneaker Connect one of the best app experiences you'll ever have!
- Communication - Sneaker Connect contains an in-app messaging system. Now, you can discuss a pending trade without needing to give strangers your phone number.
- Pricing - Sneaker Connect is completely free to download. In addition, we do not have listing fees! You will only pay once your trading transaction has been completed. Even after completing a trade, all you have to pay for is shipping and a small $2 fee. Compared to eBay, Sneaker Connect makes getting rid of unwanted kicks cheap!

The New Face of Sneaker Connect: Trading
Sneaker Connect is morphing from an app that was about having a virtual collection of sneakers to a sneaker trading app. We noticed that there was a lot of demand for a sneaker app. In fact, our earlier version of Sneaker Connect was getting a lot of downloads. Although many people were downloading Sneaker Connect, when we looked deep into the metrics we noticed something that wasn’t good. We found that our retention was very low. In fact, the average user never opened the app again three days after downloading it. So we had to figure out why our retention was low and how we could improve it.
To understand why our retention is low and to come up with a solution, we must first understand why and how other apps have high retention. Let’s look at an app like Instagram for example. We all know Instagram has high retention. In fact many users log on to Instagram many times a day. Why is that? Well, Instagram has high retention because it is solving a real problem for its users—it allows its users to instantly share and view photos of the things they care about. It’s the same with other apps that have high retention—they solve a real problem that their users have.
Therefore, we realized, if we want to improve the retention of Sneaker Connect, we must build an app that solves a real problem for our users. So we then started to think about some problems that exists in the sneakerhead community that we can possibly solve. This is when we realized that one problem that exists and has not been solved by anyone is online sneaker trading. Trading sneakers online has always been unsafe and no one has figured out a solution for it.
