Opening a seller account

How to complete seller verification

Verification is what turns an account into a store buyers will pay. It takes one to three business days once the documents are complete.

Document checklist

For the company

  • Business registration certificate, or the equivalent licence in your jurisdiction.
  • Tax registration certificate or taxpayer number.
  • Articles of association, if your jurisdiction requires them for entity checks.

For the legal representative

  • Identity document — passport, national ID or residence permit.
  • A selfie holding that document, in good light, face and document both visible.

For the address

  • A utility bill or bank statement showing the registered address, dated within three months.

For the goods (category dependent)

  • Product certificates — CE, FCC, FDA, RoHS, ISO.
  • Test reports from an accredited laboratory.
  • Brand authorisation letter, if you resell branded products.

Photographing documents

Most rejections are photographic rather than substantive.

  • Shoot straight on, not at an angle.
  • All four corners inside the frame.
  • Even daylight, no flash glare on laminated surfaces.
  • Full colour, not a photocopy of a photocopy.
  • One document per file, PDF or JPG.
  • File names do not matter; do not redact anything except genuinely sensitive numbers the form does not request.

Submit

  1. Open *Profile → Verification → Company verified*.
  2. Upload each document to its labelled slot.
  3. Type the company name and address exactly as printed.
  4. Submit and wait. You receive a notification either way, and the status shows in the same panel.

If rejected

The notice names the field. The three common causes:

  • Name mismatch — a trading name differs from the registered entity. Upload a document connecting the two, such as a tax certificate showing both.
  • Expired document — the notice gives the expiry date we read.
  • Illegible upload — re-shoot in daylight.

You can resubmit immediately. There is no cooling-off period, and repeated genuine attempts do not affect your standing.
