Higher merchant tiers enjoy more benefits and features

  • Users that have completed their verification will become Lite Makers, which can enjoy access to basic features such as posting sell ads, having up to 5 pending orders, and trading up to 10,000 USD per sell ad.

  • If you're active in the P2P marketplace, becoming Super and Diamond Merchants would elevate your P2P trading experiences, such as unlocking access to more features and higher transaction limits. Compare the benefits here.
