Why we check your phone

Every buyer verifies a phone number before making an offer. It keeps offers real and stops throwaway accounts.

How it works

Add your mobile number on your account. That number is the one we have for you.

We text a 6-digit code from Madera. It lasts 10 minutes. Ask for another if it expires.

Changing your number

Change it any time on your account. Email is on Email and the password is on Password.

We text a code to the new number before it replaces the old one. The old number stops receiving sign-in and offer texts once the new one is saved.

Numbers outside the US

US mobile numbers work for the offer check. A number from outside the United States can’t be used yet.

What we use it for

We use it for the offer check, for order texts you turn on, and for security alerts. It is not shown on your public profile or to other buyers and sellers.
