There is an initial $25 fee to become verified. The $25 fee can be submitted through Venmo or PayPal. Once the fee has been paid and all documents received, the seller will be added to the Verified Seller list.
What if a Verified Seller does not complete the transaction after a Buyer has sent funds?
In order to demonstrate the failure to transfer points, Buyer must submit a current screen shot of their point transaction history. Vacation Point Exchange will attempt to contact the Seller on the Buyer’s behalf. If the Verified Seller does not complete the transaction and will not return funds to the Buyer, Vacation Point Exchange will share the information provided by the Seller to the Buyer in order to pursue legal action.
Does renting from a Verified Seller provide any guarantees to a Buyer?
Vacation Point Exchange does not provide any guarantees to the Buyer. Our role is to confirm that the identification presented matches what is listed with Marriott, while reasonably protecting some of the Seller’s privacy.
