Identity checks
Review how buyer trust, seller limits, business accounts, high-value auctions, pickup release, payout readiness, privacy boundaries, and appeals can work without asking demo visitors for private documents.
Buyer Trust
- Buyer trust status should help high-value bids, pickup release, dispute review, and account safety without exposing private details to sellers.
- New buyers can still browse, save items, ask questions, and start cart review before any higher-trust action is required.
- Trust prompts should explain the reason for review and the next available action.
Seller Limits
- Seller limits should cover listing volume, category access, high-value auctions, payout readiness, report history, and hub drop-off permissions.
- Limits should be visible as clear account states rather than hidden penalties.
- Sellers need a direct path to fix missing profile, tax, payout, policy, or proof requirements.
Business Review
- Business sellers need role permissions, approval flows, storefront controls, bulk listing rules, and finance-owner review before scale features open.
- Team members should only see the workflows needed for their role: drafts, inventory, support, finance, or owner approval.
- Business account changes need an audit trail that can be reviewed without exposing private buyer data.
High-Value Auctions
- High-value bids should check account standing, bid history, reserve state, payment posture, and support flags before the closeout path opens.
- Bid review should protect honest buyers and sellers without interrupting low-risk browsing.
- Rejected or delayed bids need plain explanations and appeal options.
Hub Pickup Release
- Hub pickup release should check order status, QR readiness, issue holds, no-show history, and staff release permissions.
- Counter teams should never need to expose private account review notes to complete a safe pickup.
- Pickup exceptions need support routing, custody notes, and buyer-visible next steps.
Payout Readiness
- Payout readiness should stay separate from public seller reputation and show finance status only to permitted seller and operator views.
- Seller release rules should account for delivered orders, pickup release, report windows, refund holds, chargeback review, and policy status.
- The demo does not connect payout providers or collect bank details.
Privacy Boundary
- Private identity, payout, tax, address, and support details should never appear on public listing, seller, category, or hub pages.
- Staff and operator views need role limits, approval history, retention rules, and redaction for exports.
- Customer copy should explain what is being checked without asking visitors to enter sensitive data in the demo.
Appeals
- Buyers and sellers should have a clear appeal path for bid limits, seller limits, pickup holds, payout holds, account restrictions, and report outcomes.
- Appeals need required evidence, owner, deadline, customer notice, support history, and final outcome.
- Repeated abuse should route to trust review while preserving legitimate appeal rights.

Current demo state
Identity checks are represented as review states.
The demo shows trust status, seller limits, business review, high-value auction review, pickup release, payout readiness, privacy boundaries, and appeal paths without collecting identity documents, bank details, tax details, addresses, or private account data.
Future platform state
Live identity checks need approved providers and policies.
A launched marketplace needs verified account flows, legal review, processor rules, staff permissions, audit logs, retention schedules, user notices, appeal ownership, and monitoring before higher-trust actions depend on identity checks.
