Seller profile red flags

A profile should be read as a group of clues, not a single trust score.

Star rating

A strong rating is useful, but check whether the history is substantial and relevant. A handful of ratings is weaker evidence than a long transaction history.

Account age

New accounts deserve more verification when they are selling expensive or highly sought-after items.

What else they sell

A strange mix of unrelated high-value items at unusually low prices can be worth a closer look.

Payment behavior matters most

Even a strong-looking profile should not persuade you to send money outside the marketplace’s normal checkout flow.
