How verification works

Last updated November 10, 2026. The shop is not open yet, so parts of this page describe how things will work when it does. We will update this page, and the date, before the first sale.

Short answer: when seller applications open, every seller will pass an ID and age check run by a specialist verification company before they can list. We will get a pass or fail, not a copy of the ID. Buyers will see only a stage name. Verification is not live yet because seller applications haven’t opened.

For sellers (when applications open)

1. Apply with an email address and a stage name.
2. Verify with our provider. You photograph a government ID and take a quick live selfie in the provider’s secure flow, not on our site.
3. We get the result: that you are a real person, 18 or older, and that the selfie matches the ID. We do not receive or keep the ID image.
4. List under your stage name. If you change payout details later, we may ask you to verify again.

We’re choosing between specialist providers that already verify creators for adult-adjacent platforms. We will name the one we use here before applications open.

For buyers

• Today, the shop pages ask you to confirm you are 18 or older.
• Toe Or Tell has no explicit content. Listings show the item only, and descriptions stay non-sexual, so state laws that require ID checks for adult websites are not aimed at sites like this one.
• Even so, when the shop opens, buyers shipping to Ohio, South Dakota or Wyoming will be asked to complete a quick age check at checkout, run by our verification provider. We keep the result, not your ID.
• A “Verified” badge will appear on a seller only after they pass. Listings on the site today are samples, so none show it.
