How Trust Works on TrustPoint

Making car parts trading safer and more transparent in Ghana

What is TrustPoint?

TrustPoint is Ghana's trusted marketplace for car parts and accessories. We connect buyers with sellers across all 16 regions of Ghana, making it easy to find genuine parts at fair prices.

Our verification system helps you make informed decisions by showing you which sellers have been verified and what level of trust they've earned.

Seller Verification Levels

Unverified Seller

New sellers who have just joined TrustPoint. They haven't completed our verification process yet.

What this means:

  • • No identity verification completed
  • • Listings await admin approval
  • • Still can be genuine sellers

Buyer Tip:

Take extra care. Ask for more photos, verify location, and consider meeting in a public place before payment.

Verified Seller

Sellers who have submitted and verified their identity documents with our team.

What we verified:

  • • Government-issued ID (Ghana Card or Passport)
  • • Real name and contact information
  • • Business location (if applicable)

Buyer Tip:

Verified sellers have proven their identity. Still verify product condition and ask questions before purchasing.

Verified Importer

Professional importers who have provided extensive verification including business documentation and import credentials.

What we verified:

  • • Government-issued ID
  • • Business registration documents

These are established businesses with verified import operations. They typically have larger inventories and professional operations.
