Verification & trust
Lalooba uses a layered trust system designed to make buying, selling, and messaging on the platform safer for everyone.
Phone verification
Every account requires a real North American (US/Canada) phone number at signup, restricted at the database level — not just a form check.
ID verification
Optional government ID verification unlocks a verified badge, shown next to your name across the platform. ID upload is rolling out — check back soon if you don't see this option in your account yet.
Trust score
Built from verification status, completed transactions, and community feedback. A higher trust score signals a more established, reliable member.
Automatic listing review
New or unverified accounts posting high-value or unusual listings may have them briefly held for review — this happens automatically and isn't a judgment on you personally.
Verification helps protect the community, but always use good judgment — meet in safe public places, and report anything that feels wrong.
