Yes I will verify my phone number and anything else I can, these are my first auctions so I haven't gotten many badges or anything yet...I'll have more verification once the few auctions I have going end :)
You should get verified before your auctions. That way people are comfortable and confident in bidding with you. That the whole point of getting verified , so you get more bidders and more credits for your auctions. To be honest I've come across several of your auctions but I won't bid because you aren't officially verified. Please don't take that the wrong way, but for a person to be completely verified on here makes all the difference in the world when bidding. Just some food for thought.
I completely understand and agree, to get Listia verified don't you have to become a trusted seller and get positive feedback first? That's what I thought, if that's not the case I'll get verified immediately, I'm just new and don't really know all of the badge rules yet. I'm sorry you haven't been able to bid on my auctions, I hope I get verified soon and you'll be able to bid with confidence :)
