How do I check the ID document of the seller?

While we verify ID documents, we also recommend you confirm the other party’s identity in person. For example, at pick-up, you can ask to see the seller's photo ID¹.

Our verification process adds a layer of confidence, but it doesn’t guarantee the other person’s identity.
