Verified buyers and who can message you
Buyers can confirm their identity once with a government ID and a selfie. Sellers then choose how much they want from a buyer before a first message or offer.
For sellers: choose who can contact you
Change it for each listing on My Listings. The setting also applies to offers, since an offer opens a conversation. You always see a verified badge next to a buyer who has passed the check, whichever setting you use.
| Setting | Who can message or make an offer |
|---|---|
| Any signed-in buyer | The most enquiries. Best while you want reach. |
| Buyers with a buyer profile | Buyers who have shared their budget, timeline and who they are. |
| ID-verified buyers only | Buyers who confirmed their identity. The fewest, most serious enquiries. |
For buyers: how verification works
Start
Open Verify your ID, or start from a listing whose seller asks for it.
Check
You are sent to a secure page run by Didit. Photograph a passport, driving licence or ID card, then take a quick selfie.
Badge
You come back to AppAcquire, usually within a minute, with a verified badge. If a person needs to look at it, it can take up to a day.
What we keep
- We keep only the result, the country that issued your ID and the check's reference. We never see or store your ID, selfie or date of birth.
- Sellers see a verified badge, never your documents or your legal name.
- Didit, our verification partner, handles your documents under its own privacy policy.
- It is free, and Escrow.com runs its own identity check again when you pay for an app.
Troubleshooting
My check was declined
Use a valid, unexpired ID, in good light, with all four corners in view, and try again. You have a few attempts.
I verified but the seller does not see a badge
Conversations you already started are badged as soon as your check passes. If a seller still does not see it, ask them to reload the conversation.
