Verified sellers

Who you are buying from, and how to report a listing that looks wrong

MARKETPLACE · VERIFIED SELLERS

Every seller is verified before an item goes up.

Sellers confirm a mobile number by text and pass a one-time photo-ID check. You message them on the Board, see where they are and how others rated them, and can report a listing that looks wrong.

A one-time ID check

Sellers verify once with government photo ID, the same check businesses and Homes & Spaces advertisers pass.

ID verifiedShown on the listing and the seller card

A confirmed phone

Every seller confirms a mobile number by text before publishing. Buyers confirm one too before they send a message.

Know who is selling

Each listing shows the seller’s city and Market Rating, as a seller and as a buyer, and you can follow sellers you like.
