Summary

Marketplace seller fraud includes identity and account abuse, product and policy manipulation, payment fraud, and operational exploits that can cause financial losses, chargebacks, regulatory risk, and reputational damage. Common schemes include synthetic or stolen identities used to create multiple accounts, account takeovers, counterfeit or misrepresented products, non-delivery and refund scams, triangulation fraud involving stolen cards, and diverted seller payouts. The material emphasizes that marketplaces need scalable controls that identify suspicious links among accounts and transactions without creating excessive friction for legitimate sellers. Didit presents its identity platform as a response, offering global ID and NFC document verification, biometric liveness checks, facial matching to detect repeat or banned users, device and behavioral risk signals, AML screening, configurable verification workflows, and reusable KYC credentials, with the stated goals of improving onboarding, reducing fraud and operational costs, and strengthening marketplace trust.
