Why verify your phone number?

Phone verification isn’t required to list on Flippa, but it’s strongly recommended. Verifying your number builds trust with Buyers, and it only needs to be done once.


Benefits of verification

  • Earn Trust Indicators
    Verified Sellers display trust badges on their profiles, helping build credibility with Buyers.

  • Full Search Visibility
    Listings from verified Sellers appear in search results, increasing exposure.

  • Unlimited Buyer Interaction
    Verified Sellers can send and respond to Buyer messages without restriction.

  • Faster Sales
    Complete profiles (with a verified phone number and profile picture) tend to sell faster.


Why trust matters

Flippa is a marketplace built on trust. Buyers want to know who they’re dealing with—not just what they’re buying.

  • A profile photo makes interactions feel more personal.

  • A verified phone number helps us contact you if support is needed.

  • Your phone number is never shared with Buyers.


What happens if you don’t verify

  • Limited Messaging
    You’ll be able to see Buyer messages, but you won’t be able to respond.

If you encounter any issues while verifying your phone number, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team — we’re here to help.
