01Why We Verify Sellers#
Buyers pay with confidence only when they know who they are buying from. Verification also lets us meet our obligations under sanctions, anti-fraud and anti-money-laundering rules in India and abroad, and lets our payment providers approve payouts.
02What We Verify#
- Identity: a valid government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID, Aadhaar, driving licence or voter ID) and a selfie holding it. We check that the document is genuine, current and matches the selfie, and that the person is at least 18.
- Address and business details where required for tax invoices or payout compliance.
- Payout ownership: the account holder name on every bank, UPI or PayPal payout must match the verified legal name. Third-party payouts are refused.
03How Verification Works#
Choose the method shown in Settings → Identity. With in-house review, you upload documents to private storage and a trained reviewer decides, usually within 24 hours. With an automated provider, you complete a hosted document and liveness check and the result is returned to us. In both cases a person can override the result and you can appeal through the Grievance Officer.
04Sanctions and Restricted Countries#
We do not onboard sellers in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions (CU, IR, KP, SY) and we screen against applicable sanctions lists. We may refuse or end a relationship where legal or reputational risk is unacceptable.
05Monitoring and Suspicious Activity#
We monitor for patterns associated with fraud or money laundering, such as self-dealing between related accounts, structured transactions, payouts inconsistent with sales, rapid refund cycles and off-platform payment requests. Every withdrawal is reviewed by staff before payment. We may hold funds, request documents, or file reports with authorities where required, and we cooperate with lawful requests from regulators and law enforcement.
06Your Data#
Verification data is processed under the Privacy Policy: stored privately, encrypted, access-logged, used only for verification and compliance, and retained only as long as the law requires.
07Your Obligations#
Keep your details current, use one account, never let anyone else use your seller account, and tell us if you suspect your account has been compromised.
