Why you should buy from Authenticated & Verified sellers

When a seller is authenticated and verified, it means that this seller is a legally registered business in his country and the contact person is employed/associated with the business on the date of authentication. Learn more about how we authenticate our members.

 

We believe authenticated businesses take a long-term view to operate their business and it is to everyone's interest to act in a fair and honest way. By verifying the contact person is employed/associated with the business, you can be sure the person you are talking to represents the business. In event of any dispute, you will be able to trace the business through the country business registrar.

 

We like to say yes, but in reality, the answer is not so straight-forward. Being authenticated means the business is legally registered and the contact person is employed/associated with the business - nothing more. It does not provide any guarantee on the business practices, nor it does not prevent any disputes from arising.

What else should I know about the seller before buying?

Being authenticated and verified is the only starting point. You should refer to the seller profile page to know more about the seller past performance, who bought from the seller, buyer reviews, who trust the seller, certifications/awards and more.

How do I know if a seller is authenticated?

It's easy. Simply do a search for the seller in our search box, and in the seller profile page. You will be able to see his authentication status and more.
