Verification & Trust

Understand the trust indicators shown around sellers and marketplace content.

Verified sellers

A Verified indicator is a platform trust signal. It does not replace your own review of the product, price, condition and transaction details.

Shop carefully

  1. 1Review the full product information.
  2. 2Check seller and delivery details.
  3. 3Ask questions through the marketplace messaging flow when necessary.
  4. 4Use reporting and support tools when something appears suspicious.

Why verification exists

Verification adds an additional trust signal to eligible accounts or sellers. It helps Gadget Trade apply marketplace controls and gives users more information when evaluating who they are dealing with.

What verification does not mean

A verified status does not mean that every listing is accurate, every transaction will succeed or every statement made by a user is guaranteed. Buyers and sellers should still review the actual product and transaction information.

Keeping verification accurate

Verification can be reviewed or changed when account information changes, a security concern arises, or marketplace requirements are updated. Users must not copy or falsely reproduce verification indicators.
