To protect buyers and comply with marketplace regulations, Gameflip requires sellers to complete basic account verification before listing items. Account requirements scale based on selling frequency and item category.
Identity & Verification Policy
- Baseline Requirements: All sellers must verify a valid email address and phone number.
- Frequent Selling Requirement: Card verification is a temporary option for casual sellers. High-volume or frequent sellers must complete ID Verification.
- Additional Verification: Depending on what you sell, there will be additional verifications, including but not limited to ID Verification.
