How buyers get certified
Every buyer clears five steps before taking a paid request. Certification is per country — you can only serve the country you proved you live in.
Identity check
Government ID plus a live selfie match. Name and country are locked to your profile.
Address & proof of residence
A recent utility bill or bank statement confirms you actually shop in the country you serve.
Skills & sourcing test
Complete 3 sourcing scenarios: price accuracy, authenticity checks, prohibited-item screening.
Escrow trial period
Your first 5 orders run with a 100% held payout and mandatory photo proof.
Certification badge
Pass and you get ID Verified, then Certified Pro at 50 orders, Elite at 300 with 97%+ on-time.
