For Sellers
Verification is usually talked about as protection for buyers. It's just as much an advantage for you, it's what lets a stranger trust your listing enough to act on it immediately instead of hesitating.
A photo alone invites questions: is it actually there, is it actually that condition, is this seller actually legitimate. A verified listing answers all three before a buyer even messages you.
Hesitation is the enemy of a quick sale. A buyer weighing an unverified listing against a verified one, all else equal, moves faster on the one they don't have to second-guess.
"Can you send another photo" and "is this still available" are the questions a verified listing answers upfront, meaning less time spent proving your listing is genuine and more time actually closing it.
This isn't a premium feature you have to opt into or pay extra for, geolocated video verification happens before every listing goes live. That consistency is what makes it valuable: a buyer doesn't need to check whether your specific listing is one of the trustworthy ones, every listing already is. For the buyer-protection side of what verification does, see Trust & Safety.
It's primarily about participation, not price inflation. A buyer who trusts a listing is real is a buyer who's willing to engage with it, bid on it, or make an offer, rather than scrolling past out of caution. More genuine engagement is what tends to produce a better outcome, not the verification itself adding value to the material.
The video confirms the material shown is real and located where the listing says it is, geolocated at the point of filming. It doesn't independently grade the material's exact composition or condition beyond what's visible, that's still worth being accurate and detailed about in your own description.
No, a phone is enough. The requirement is that it's genuinely filmed at the material's actual location, not that it's professionally produced.
Yes, the same verification step applies regardless of which listing type you use.
Every listing is verified before it goes live. It's not an optional upgrade, it's the baseline every seller's listing meets, which is part of why buyers can trust any listing on the platform without checking the seller's history first.
Every listing verified, every buyer able to trust it immediately.
