FAQ
Is the KYC data shared with buyers? No. PII stays inside the KYC partner system. Buyers see your verified-seller badge, public bio, and aggregate stats only.
How long does verified status last? 12 months from approval. Renewal is automatic if your trade history and rating remain compliant.
Can I be downgraded? Yes — chronic late deliveries, unresolved disputes, or rating drop below 4.5 can trigger a tier downgrade.
Does verification help me sell more? Empirically: yes. Verified sellers in our 2024–2026 cohort closed 2.2x faster than non-verified equivalents at comparable price points.
