Account verification process

Once you’ve registered for a seller account on Tradeit, the account verification process is essential to ensure that all sellers are legitimate and trustworthy. Here’s a step-by-step guide to how this process works:

1. Email Verification
   • After completing your registration, Tradeit will send a verification email to the address you provided. Open the email and click the verification link to confirm that the email address is valid.
2. Phone Number Verification
   • As part of the process, you may be required to verify your phone number. Tradeit will send an SMS with a code to the mobile number you registered with. Enter the code on the verification page to confirm your phone number.
3. Identity Document Upload
   • To verify your identity, you’ll need to upload a valid government-issued ID. This could be a passport, driver’s license, or national ID card. Ensure the image is clear and all details are visible.
4. Business Documentation (for Registered Companies)
   • If you are registering as a business, you will need to provide relevant documentation to verify the company’s legitimacy. This could include:
     • Company registration certificate.
     • Tax clearance certificate.
     • Proof of business address.
5. Bank Account Verification
   • Tradeit requires sellers to provide bank account details to receive payments. You will need to upload a recent bank statement or a letter from your bank confirming the account ownership and details.
6. Background Check
   • Tradeit may conduct background checks to ensure the seller complies with legal and ethical standards. This can include a review of your business history, legal compliance, and any past records related to fraud or misconduct.
7. Approval and Account Activation
   • Once all required documents and verifications have been successfully completed and reviewed, Tradeit will activate your seller account. You’ll receive a confirmation email notifying you that your account is ready to start selling on the platform.
8. Ongoing Verification
   • In some cases, Tradeit may conduct ongoing checks and request updates to your account information, such as proof of identity, business status, or bank details.

This verification process ensures that all sellers on Tradeit meet the marketplace’s security standards, building trust with buyers and maintaining a safe selling environment.
