How verification works
Every seller on our marketplace goes through a human-reviewed verification process before their listings go live. Here's how we keep it real:
- 1
Seller identity check
We verify each seller is a real person operating a legitimate handmade business, not a reseller or dropshipper.
- 2
Workshop documentation
Sellers provide evidence of their workspace and process: photos, videos, or other documentation showing how items are made by hand.
- 3
Anti-slop image screening
Every listing image is checked against known dropship and stock-photo databases. Suspicious listings are held for human review before publication.
