Verified Seller Badges & Trust Score
Trust is the single most critical factor in digital marketplace transactions. To give buyers confidence when purchasing high-value game accounts, top-ups, and serial keys, BDX Marketplace enforces an objective, performance-driven badge and trust system. Sellers earn the Verified Seller badge by establishing real delivery velocity, maintaining low dispute rates, and building positive customer feedback.
1. BDX Seller Badge Tiers
BDX features two clear seller classification tiers across catalog offer tables, storefront headers, and chat interfaces:
-
Normal Seller:
- Default tier assigned to newly registered sellers upon profile creation.
- Entitled to list products within default free listing limits.
- Displays a standard store indicator on offer cards.
-
Verified Seller:
- Awarded automatically when a seller achieves 500 Trust Points via performance metrics.
- Displays a distinctive Verified Checkmark Badge across search results, product hub tables, and order chat headers.
- Unlocks higher live offer publication limits and elevated buyer placement in seller comparison tables.
2. Trust Score Formula & Point Matrix
The BDX Trust Score is calculated dynamically from real completed transactions, buyer reviews, and dispute records.
Formula: Total Score = Delivery Points + Review Points - Refund Deductions - Complaint Deductions
Verified threshold: 500 Points

3. Real-Time Tracking & Badge Awarding
The Trust Score system provides complete transparency to sellers while automating badge distribution:
- Seller Dashboard Tracker: Sellers can monitor their exact points and progress bar under their Seller Dashboard performance tab.
- Automated Badge Distribution: When an eligible seller reaches or exceeds 500 trust points, the system automatically awards the Verified Seller badge.
- Badge Maintenance: If severe penalties (such as negative reviews or verified complaints) pull a seller's score below 500 points, the badge status is automatically re-evaluated to maintain badge integrity.
4. Visibility & Badging Across the Marketplace
Verified Seller status is surfaced throughout the BDX marketplace:
- Offer Comparison Grids: Verified sellers are highlighted with a distinct verification badge icon, signaling immediate trustworthiness.
- Order Chat Workspace: Buyer chat threads display verification titles to reassure buyers during account and code handoffs.
- Notifications: When a seller crosses the 500-point threshold and receives the badge, BDX sends an automated alert and email congratulating the seller.
