While we verify an ID document, we recommend you also confirm the other party’s identity yourself when you meet in person. For example, at pick-up, you can ask to see the buyer’s photo ID.
Our verification process adds a layer of confidence, but it doesn’t guarantee the other person’s identity1.
1ID verification confirms that the user’s identity document information matches official records, but carsales cannot guarantee that the user matches the information they present. Users should confirm the other party’s identity in person prior to releasing funds.
