DESCRIPTION

The Seller Partner Identity Verification team is responsible for knowing who we're doing business with. We do this by applying a thorough verification process at key points during the seller or vendor lifecycle as well as deploying bad actor detection and enforcement. We organize this work into five programs aligned with different stages of the seller and vendor journeys. Within SPIV, the Registration and Verification team seeks to stop bad actors from gaining access to our store by providing proactive and customized registration and verification services. Our mission is that we build trust by protecting our customers, selling partners, and our store from bad actors by: (1) building verification processes at the entity level that evaluate the legitimacy of the individual and the business they represent, (2) delivering best-in class experiences for our registration and verification products, and (3) leveraging verification services throughout registration, compliance, and lifecycle events.
