Verification standard

Seller labels should explain evidence, not imply a guarantee.

Verification describes what has been checked about a seller record. It is separate from product ranking and does not replace a buyer’s own payment, delivery, and warranty checks.

Core rule

Evidence before label

01

Business identity

The public business name, domain, contact, and operating region must align.

  • Business-domain control
  • Traceable contact details
  • Consistent public identity

02

Seller relationship

Official, distributor, and reseller labels require different supporting evidence.

  • Brand-owned domain or store
  • Published distributor relationship
  • Independent reseller disclosure

03

Ongoing record quality

Verification can be reviewed when core facts become stale or conflict with sources.

  • Working product and policy links
  • Visible shipping and warranty terms
  • Correction history and last review date

Verification is not endorsement

A verification label does not guarantee stock, delivery, product condition, refunds, or future service. Paying for seller services does not purchase the verification outcome.

Application

Send business evidence for review.

Applications are stored as review records. A submission does not create a public label or change indexed evidence automatically.
