What is profile verification?
Your safety in the marketplace is our top priority. You’ll be asked to verify your profile so we know you’re really you. It also helps to reduce marketplace fraud.
While profile verification does help build trust, we do want you to know that completing this process isn’t an endorsement of any seller or buyer. We can’t fully confirm someone’s identity or guarantee that it’s safe to interact with them. Always use your best judgment and follow our Safety Guidelines.
The information you provide will only be used for profile verification and will not be sold or rented to third parties without your consent. Other users won’t be able to view your private information, including but not limited to your government ID, selfie, and cell phone number. For more information on the data we collect and how we store it, please see our Privacy Policy.
