We strongly encourage users to review seller ratings and feedback before making transactions.
• Seller Identity Verification: To ensure the safety and security of our marketplace, we may require sellers to verify their identity by providing certain personal information (e.g., government-issued ID, business registration, social media profiles) before listing products or services.
