Phone number and identity: when and why
Your phone number is never visible to buyers and never passed on; buyers reach you through messages on reebee. A verified number is only needed for listings above €150, an identity check only above €500 per listing and for shops. A submitted document is reviewed within 48 hours; as long as no decision has been made you can have it withdrawn, and after the decision it is deleted.
Your phone number
- It appears nowhere on your profile or listings, and we never give it to buyers. Not even for a pickup: that is confirmed with a pickup code through the platform, not by phone.
- We ask for it to protect your account and to make sure a seller is genuinely reachable.
- Verifying it (an SMS code) is only required for listings above €150. Below that you can sell without a number.
- SMS not arriving? Wait a minute and request a new code. If it still fails, contact us — it's usually on our side.
Identity check
- Required for listings above €500 and for shop accounts. Below that it isn't mandatory; a voluntary check gives you the "Identity verified" badge on your profile.
- You submit the front of your ID card via Verification. A staff member reviews it within 48 hours; you get an email with the outcome.
- Withdrawing is possible as long as no decision has been made: ask via the contact form and we delete the document. After approval we keep only the outcome, not the document.
- Vinted asks for this only after a number of sales; with us it depends on the price of your listing, not on how many sales you have.
