For marketplace sellers
Prove you're a real person — not a bot, not a scammer.
In a market full of AI-generated profiles and throwaway accounts, honest sellers get treated like suspects. Anchor is one verified link you paste into any listing or DM that proves a real, checked human is behind the sale.

A live page, not an image. Buyers can open it themselves and see exactly when each check was completed — and everything you chose not to share.

Why selling got harder
Buyers can't tell you apart from a scammer.
AI-generated everything
Profile photos, listing shots, and even video can be generated in seconds. Buyers can no longer tell a real seller from a synthetic one by looking.
Throwaway accounts
Scammers burn an account per victim. A fresh profile with no history looks exactly like an honest first-time seller — so buyers treat both as risky.
The trust tax lands on you
You end up sending selfies with handwritten notes, accepting escrow, dropping your price, or losing the sale entirely to a bigger account.
Anchor gives the honest seller the one thing a scammer can't copy: a verified, accountable human behind the account.
Straight answers
The four things sellers ask us.
How is this different from platform KYC?
Platform KYC verifies you for the platform, and the result stays locked inside it. Anchor verifies you once and gives you a link you own — usable on any marketplace, DM, or forum.
What stops a scammer from faking a badge?
Every badge resolves to a live Anchor profile hosted by us. Buyers click the link and see the real record — a screenshot proves nothing.
Do you keep my passport?
No. The document check runs through a regulated provider and Anchor stores only the pass/fail result plus the date. There is no document image to leak.
Does it work off-platform?
That is the point. Most high-value deals move to Instagram, WhatsApp, or a forum thread where the platform's badge disappears. Your Anchor link works everywhere you paste it.
Questions
Quick answers.
How long does verification take?
Usually under five minutes on your phone: a document scan, a short liveness check, then link the accounts you sell from.
Is it really free during beta?
Yes. Verified seller badges are free for early users who help us improve the product. We'll let you know before anything changes.
Where do I put my Anchor link?
Paste it in listing descriptions, your bio, or direct messages. Some sellers also add it to their profile or watermark it on listing photos.
Can I remove my verification later?
Yes. You control your credential. You can revoke public access or delete your verification data from settings at any time.
Give buyers a reason to say yes.
Stop proving yourself one buyer at a time. Verify once, paste your link, and let the proof do the talking. Free during beta.
