Step 1: Verify your identity
Verification runs through Stripe Identity: a photo of your government ID and a live selfie, in about 5 minutes. RepChecked never sees your documents. One identity holds one profile, so no one can open a second account to start over.
What to have ready
- A government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID)
- Access to a webcam or phone camera for a live selfie
- About 5 minutes of your time
What gets checked
- Your legal name, which becomes the name on your account
- A live selfie to confirm you are the document holder
- Document authenticity (valid, unexpired, and unaltered)
Your profile stays inactive until verification is complete. If a check fails, you can try again.
Step 2: Link your accounts
Link the accounts you sell on and prove each one is yours. Your profile lists every linked account, so the people you transact with can see the handle in their chat belongs to you.

Step 4: Build your record
Log each transaction on RepChecked. The other person confirms it, you both leave feedback, and it joins both of your records. Your record is tied to one verified identity, so it can't be deleted to escape bad feedback.
- Waiting on the other side
- Stays pending until they confirm
- Cancelled or declined
- Never counts
- Shipped, tracking not verified
- Doesn't count until tracking is verified
- Disputed
- Off the public list until our team resolves it
A dispute can only be opened on a completed transaction, by a verified member. The other person can respond before a decision.
Checking someone?
You don't need an account to check someone. Search their handle, or open the profile link they sent, and make sure the handle on the profile is the one you're talking to.
Example: the handle in your chat, u/TopTrader_NYC, matches the handle linked on their profile. A lookalike handle, u/T0pTrader_NYC with a zero, does not match, so don't pay.
No linked handle for that platform? Ask them to link it before you pay.
What to read on their profile
- Verified identity
- A real person passed a government ID and live selfie check.
- Transactions
- Transactions with verified members that both sides confirmed, each with its feedback.
- Linked accounts
- The handles they proved they own.
- Reports
- Reports filed by verified members and reviewed before they’re published. Anyone named can respond.
An empty search is not a guarantee of safety. Verification shows a real person passed an ID check, not how they will behave in a transaction.

How Deal Pass worksYour data, protected
You're trusting us with your identity, so here is what RepChecked receives, what it keeps, and what it never sees.
What we keep
- Your legal name, from your ID, shown as the name on your account
- Your shipping ZIP, the ZIP you usually ship from, used to check that tracked transactions were not sent to yourself
- A one-way code made from your date of birth, name and document number. It stops second accounts and can't be turned back into those details.
What we never see or keep
- Your ID documents, scans or photos
- Any biometric or facial recognition data
- Your full address
- Your date of birth or document number, once the code is made
