How Seller Verification Works

List a device with its IMEI and our Trust Lens system verifies you automatically

How Verification Works

Seller verification is built into the listing process. When you create a listing and provide your device's IMEI, our Trust Lens system automatically runs checks against global databases to verify the device's legitimacy -- and yours.

Create a Listing

List your device and enter its IMEI number. You can find this by dialling *#06# on most phones.

Trust Lens Checks Run Automatically

Our system checks the IMEI against GSMA blacklists, stolen device reports, and iCloud lock status in seconds.

Clean Result = Verified Seller

If all checks pass, your listing goes live and your seller profile is automatically marked as Verified.

Flagged Results Get Admin Review

If any check flags an issue, an admin reviews the listing manually and makes a decision.

What Trust Lens Checks

GSMA Blacklist

Ensures the device is not reported lost or stolen globally

Stolen Reports

Cross-references stolen device databases

iCloud Lock

Checks if Find My iPhone activation lock is enabled

IMEI Validity

Verifies the IMEI is a real, properly formatted identifier

Staying Verified

Once verified, your status carries forward to all future listings. However, if 3 or more of your listings fail verification checks, your seller status will be revoked and you will need to contact support. Each new listing still undergoes its own IMEI verification to protect buyers.
