Identity Verification
Verify your identity to sell and receive payouts, earn a trust badge, and keep the marketplace safe for buyers and sellers alike.
Why Identity Verification Matters
Confirming who you are protects everyone on the marketplace. It stops impersonation and fraud, keeps stolen goods and stolen accounts out, and it is the check that lets you sell and receive payouts.
Verification supports compliance with anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) obligations. Your documents are used only to confirm your identity.

One check, not a ladder — verification either passes or it does not
Identity verification
You submit a government ID and we confirm it belongs to you. This is the check that lets you sell.
Liveness selfie
A live selfie can be requested alongside the ID. It is part of the flow and has not yet recorded a biometric template.
No verification tiers in service
Tiered buying and payout limits are not implemented — there is no tier stored against your account today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about identity verification
How long does verification take?
Most identity checks complete within minutes. If a manual review is needed, it can take up to a few business days, and we'll email you when there's a decision.
Which documents can I use?
A valid, unexpired government ID — passport, national ID card, driver's license, or residence permit. In some cases we may also ask for proof of address.
Is my personal data safe?
Yes. Your documents are encrypted at rest and only authorized compliance reviewers can access them, under audit. Your ID is never shown to other users.
Why do I need a selfie?
The liveness selfie confirms that you are the person on the document. It prevents someone from verifying with a stolen ID, and only a single still frame and a confidence score are kept.
Do I have to verify to browse?
No. You can browse freely. Verification is required to sell and to receive payouts.
What if my verification is rejected?
You can re-submit with corrected information or clearer photos. We'll tell you what to fix when a submission isn't approved.
