Why You Should Verify Your Identity
Whether you are a buyer or a seller it is important that you get your identity verified. When transacting online knowing who you are talking/selling to or buying from is important. It can provide both parties with a level of security that you are who you say you are. Especially when it comes to high value or emotional purchases. Sometimes when shopping online there is a little bit of anxiety where your purchase is coming from. Specifically when it is a classified site as we have roughly 9 million different members. Therefore by identifying yourself you are eliminating those concerns, and will be able to complete more trusted transactions.
How To Get Verified With Yoti
The easiest way to get verified is to use our new feature Yoti. We have made it nice and easy for you if you already have an account head to the ‘my accounts’ page. There you will notice a blue button, that says ‘VERIFY WITH YOTI’. Where you will be redirected to Yoti’s verification page. If you are new to us then you can follow the same process or wait for us to prompt you for more details.
Make sure that you have your ID ready, you will need either your passport or driving license. To ensure that your verification is successful then you need your Preloved account details to match your ID document. As you click through the steps on the verification page you will be asked to scan you ID, for Yoti to do a data extraction and check your face against their ‘liveness test’. This test is to check that you are in fact a real human. So lets hope that you aren’t a robot.
