Our commitment towards building trust on DoneDeal
We are constantly striving to improve the safety of DoneDeal and our verified profiles will help you understand more about the buyer or seller you are dealing with.
How it works
Email Verification
|
When you see “Email verified”, the buyer or seller has verified their email address. By sending a link to the email address which is then clicked, we can verify the buyer or seller has access to the email address which they have entered. We ask all buyers and sellers to verify their email address when creating an account. Your email is not visible to other buyers and sellers. |
Phone Verification
|
When you see “Phone verified”, the buyer or seller has verified their phone number. By sending a text message to that phone number with a unique code which is then rekeyed into DoneDeal, we can verify the buyer or seller has access to the phone number which they have entered. We ask new sellers to verify their phone number when placing an ad in certain sections and also when creating and account. Your phone number is only visible to other buyers if you choose the “Phone/Text” option when placing an ad. |
|
Payment Card Verification
|
When you see “Payment card verified”, the buyer or seller has either saved card payment details to their DoneDeal account or connected their DoneDeal account to their bank account via Stripe. Connecting with Stripe requires the seller to enter information securely via the Stripe platform such as name and address along with entering their bank details. In both cases, we can verify the payment method used by the buyer or seller. Your saved card details on DoneDeal or any of the sensitive information associated with your Stripe account are not visible to other buyers and sellers. |
