Someone asked you for a check code? How it works

Listing photos can come from the internet, be old or be made by an AI. With katitrust, the seller sends you a photo taken live in the app just now, and you check it before you pay.

Ask

Write as usual first. When the other person replies, ask for a check code. You can copy both messages right here.

How to ask
Hi, is the item still available?
Hi, yes, it’s still available. I can also ship it to you, shipping would be $8.
Great, thanks! Before I pay, I always ask for a recent photo. Could you quickly take a photo of the item with the free katitrust app and send me the check code? The app shows that a photo is real and recent.
Sure, I just took the photo. Here’s the check code:0-a1b2c3

Take

The other person takes the photo right in the katitrust app. Pictures from the gallery can’t be uploaded there.
