Trust and safety

CartFolio Verified

The CartFolio Verified badge on a cart page means the listing passed every automatic record check below. Each one is a specific fact our systems confirmed — nothing is taken on the seller's word.

  1. 01

    VIN validated

    The cart's 17-character VIN passes the federal check-digit test and its model-year code matches the listed year. Misread or made-up VINs fail this check.

  2. 02

    Complete listing

    Year, make, model, mileage, and condition are all stated. No blanks a buyer would have to guess at.

  3. 03

    Photo record

    At least three owner-uploaded photos are on the record.

  4. 04

    Documented history

    At least three build or service entries are logged, so the record shows real upkeep rather than a page created in one sitting.

  5. 05

    Established member

    The owner's account is at least a week old. Throwaway accounts created the day of a sale do not qualify.

What it is not

CartFolio Verified confirms the record checks above, made automatically from data on CartFolio. It is not a mechanical inspection, a warranty, a title or lien search, or an endorsement of the seller. Always look a cart over in person, verify the title with your local DMV or tax office, and meet in a safe public place.

Selling? Earn the badge

The badge is free and automatic: add your VIN under Verified history on your cart page, fill in the details, upload photos, and keep your build list and service log current. The badge appears on your public page the moment every check passes.
