The 15-Point Checklist to Verify Any Liquidation Company

Use this checklist every time you consider a new seller. A legitimate business will pass most of these points easily. A scam usually fails several at once.

Identity

• 1. Full street address shown, and it matches a real commercial building on a map.
• 2. Business registered in its state. Search the state registry (for Florida, Sunbiz at dos.fl.gov/sunbiz).
• 3. A phone number answered by a person during posted hours, who can answer specific questions.
• 4. The business name is consistent across the website, invoices, card statements and listings.

Website

• 5. Domain age: check lookup.icann.org. Does the creation date fit the "years in business" claim?
• 6. Google Safe Browsing shows no warnings for the domain.
• 7. Photos are original — reverse-image-search a few. No other company names or watermarks.
• 8. No copied text: search a distinctive sentence from the About page.
• 9. No fake "official partner" claims or misuse of retailer logos.

Policies

• 10. A written return policy with specific numbers (days, any fee, how to start).
• 11. Shipping, privacy and terms pages exist and name the same company.
• 12. Product listings state condition and whether lots are manifested.

Money

• 13. Card payment or a method with buyer protection is accepted.
• 14. No pressure to pay by wire, Zelle, Cash App, gift card or crypto.

Reputation

• 15. Search the name with "scam" and "complaint"; check BBB Scam Tracker. Look for real, varied reviews — or an honest "no reviews yet" — rather than perfect, identical praise.

Scoring

• 14–15 points: looks legitimate. Still pay with a card.
• 10–13: ask more questions and start small.
• Under 10: do not buy.
