5 reasons to verify your profile today
Discussed in this article
Figuring out who you can and can’t trust when buying online can feel like a lot. Getting a Verified KSL Profile may help. Profile verification helps confirm that a user has submitted identification, but it doesn't guarantee trust or security. We encourage users to follow safety guidelines and use caution in all transactions. KSL Classifieds profile verification is easy to set up, and we’ll show you how it benefits you and others.
Disclaimer: While profile verification confirms that identification has been submitted, it does not guarantee that the user is who they claim to be or that transactions will be free from risk. Always follow our safety guidelines when interacting with others on the platform.
1. Increase security
Your KSL Classifieds account safety is our top priority. Verifying your KSL profile adds an extra layer of security when interacting with others and can protect your account from fraudulent requests. You’ll be able to breathe easy knowing that you are interacting with other buyers and sellers that have also taken the steps to become verified.

2. Build trust with other users
When users see just a gray silhouette/mystery person on a profile, they can’t be sure if they’re connecting with a real person or not. A Verified Profile shows that a user has submitted ID for validation, but it does not confirm their trustworthiness. Always exercise good judgment when interacting with others on the platform.
3. Stand out in search results
Buyers want to know who they are getting an item from. They may simply pass by a suspiciously new account with no identifiable information displayed. This could leave users suspicious of your items and less likely to proceed with a purchase. Getting a Verified Profile helps you stand out from the crowd, potentially leading to more views and faster sales of your listed items.

4. Create a safe community
Nothing breaks trust within a community quite like scammers. We take scammers seriously, with a lot of effort on our end to combat fraudulent activity. But we also rely on public participation. When you verify your profile, you contribute to a safer, more reliable community for everyone. As more users verify, we’re hoping to create a more secure online buying and selling experience on KSL Classifieds.
5. Simple and convenient
The KSL Classifieds profile verification process is quick and easy. Taking just a few minutes from your day to add a photo and verify your profile provides long term benefits to the entire community. Users will also be able to navigate to verified sellers quickly, creating a smoother experience from browsing to purchase.
