Wallapop phone verification: what to know
In short
- Verify your number from your profile, under Settings, then Verifications and security, with a code by text.
- Other users see a verified badge, not your number, and Wallapop pays for the text.
- A number can be linked to one Wallapop account at a time.
Wallapop asks you to verify a phone number when you sign up, or for security, and you can do it any time from your profile.
How to verify
- Open your profile, then Settings, then Verifications and security.
- Enter your phone number.
- Type in the code Wallapop texts you, in the app or on the website.
What it does
A verified number puts a badge on your profile, which helps buyers and sellers trust you. Other users don’t see the number, and Wallapop pays for the text. Wallapop may also text a code when you log in, to stop anyone else getting in.
One number, one account
A phone number can be linked to only one Wallapop account at a time.
Keep your number to yourself
Wallapop says you don’t need your number to buy or sell, so don’t share it with other users. If someone asks for it, or for a link or personal details, report them from the chat. See our guide to selling online without giving out your number.
Using a one-time number
Wallapop can text a code when you log in, and a number from ReserveSMS receives codes for 20 minutes only. For an account you sell from, use a number you keep. Get a number for Wallapop.
