Why Verification Matters
To get paid through Junkyard Surf, sellers must complete Stripe’s KYC verification. This is standard for marketplaces and ensures a safe, trusted community for all surfers and shops.
Why Verification is Required
To keep Junkyard Surf safe for both shops and surfers, all sellers must complete Stripe’s Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. This process confirms your identity and payout details, helping prevent fraud and ensuring that buyers and sellers can trade with confidence.
How to Complete Verification
Getting verified is simple:
Create your first listing on Junkyard Surf — you’ll be prompted to verify your account through Stripe.
Or, go to the My Junkyard section of the app and start verification anytime.
Follow the secure Stripe link to submit your ID and bank details.
Once verified, you’re ready to receive payouts straight into your account.
Verification Timeline
Most sellers are verified quickly, often within 1–2 business days. For some, especially first-time verifications, Stripe may take up to 14 days to approve. Once verified, your payouts typically arrive in 2–3 business days after a board handover.
What You’ll Need
Have the following details ready before you start:
A valid government-issued ID (driver’s licence, passport, etc.)
Bank account details for payouts
For businesses: ABN and company information if applicable
Your Privacy
All verification is handled directly by Stripe using secure, encrypted systems. Junkyard Surf never sees or stores your ID or bank details. This ensures your information stays private while still protecting buyers and sellers across the marketplace.
