For Hobbyists: Dolo - Safe Trading & Community Verification
For The Community

Keep the Hobby Safe. Verify Yourself & Others.

You're not just a seller, you're a collector. Stop the scammers and bad actors. Use Dolo to prove you are real, and ask for it to see if they are.

The Anxiety is Real
🚩 "Is this profile a scammer?"
🚩 "Can you write my name next to the item?"
🚩 Burner accounts with 0 karma/history.
🚩 Sending money and hoping they don't ghost.
βœ… Dolo solves this. Verified Identity. Safe Community.

Dolo Works Where You Trade

Whether you're purging your collection or hunting for a unicorn.

Admins Love Verified Members

BST (Buy/Sell/Trade) groups are full of fake profiles. When you post a purge with a verified Dolo link, you signal to the group that you are safe, real, and accountable.

Buying via DM? Check their Dolo First.

Instagram is the wild west. Before you PayPal "Friends & Family" to a stranger, ask for their Dolo link. If they hesitate, that's a red flag. Protect your wallet.

Karma Isn't Enough.

Scammers buy high-karma accounts. They can't buy ID verification and cross-platform history. Make Dolo your standard for safe trades on Reddit.

Safe Trading FAQ

Common questions about verifying yourself and others.

I'm not a "business," I just purge sometimes. Is this for me? +
Absolutely. Dolo is for anyone who trades online. In fact, hobbyists need it most because they don't have a website to prove they are legitimate. Your Dolo profile is your "Internet ID" to show you're safe to trade with.
Does ID verification mean everyone sees my ID? +
No! We use a secure processor (Persona) to check your government ID. We verify you are real, and then we just display a "Verified" badge. We do not display your address or ID photo publicly.
How can I use this to spot scammers? +
When you are buying from someone new, ask for their Dolo link. If they are a verified member with reviews imported from other platforms, they are likely safe. If they refuse to verify, they might be hiding something.
Is it free? +
Yes. Creating a verified profile to keep the community safe is free. We have optional paid features for heavy sellers, but the core safety features are for everyone.
Can I use this for trades (not just sales)? +
Yes! Trades are the riskiest part of the hobby. Both parties should share their Dolo links before shipping to ensure mutual trust.
