To sell services on FVM Game, you must meet a specific set of requirements designed to ensure a secure, trustworthy, and high-quality marketplace for both sellers and buyers. These requirements are not just a formality; they are the foundation of the platform’s reputation. They cover everything from your initial identity verification and the quality of the services you offer to the financial and legal frameworks you operate within. Understanding and adhering to these rules is the first and most critical step to building a successful business on the platform.
Identity and Account Verification: The Non-Negotiable First Step
Before you can list a single service, your identity must be verified by FVM Game. This process is far more rigorous than a simple email confirmation. You will be required to submit government-issued photo identification, such as a passport or driver’s license, for manual review. This is complemented by a live video verification session where you must show your face alongside the submitted ID document. The platform’s security team cross-references this information against various databases to confirm your identity and ensure you are not operating on a banned or fraudulent list. This entire process typically takes between 24 to 72 hours. The purpose is crystal clear: to prevent fraud, money laundering, and the creation of duplicate accounts, thereby protecting the entire ecosystem. Failure to pass this verification will result in an immediate and permanent rejection of your seller application.
Service Quality and Listing Standards
Your service is your product, and on FVM Game, it must meet exceptionally high standards. The platform categorizes services meticulously, and your listing must fit perfectly within an existing category. Vague or misleading listings are flagged and removed. For example, if you are selling “Power Leveling” for a specific game, your listing must specify the game, the starting level, the target level, and the estimated time frame. You cannot simply list “I will level your character.” The platform employs a team of human moderators who review each new service listing against a detailed checklist of over 50 criteria. These include:
- Clarity of Description: Is the service explained in plain language without jargon?
- Realistic Promises: Are the deliverables achievable? Promising “Max Level in 1 Hour” for a complex MMORPG would be rejected.
- Originality: The service must be your own. Reselling another user’s service or a third-party tool is strictly prohibited.
- Media Quality: Listings must include high-resolution images or a short video demonstrating the service or your previous work.
The acceptance rate for new service listings is approximately 65%, indicating the selectivity of the moderation process. Once approved, your service is subject to ongoing quality checks based on buyer reviews and reported issues.
Financial Requirements and Fee Structures
Selling on FVM Game is not free, and understanding the financial commitment is crucial. The platform operates on a commission-based model. The standard commission rate is 15% of the total sale price. However, this rate can be reduced based on your seller level and monthly sales volume. The financial barriers to entry are also designed to ensure serious sellers.
| Requirement | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Security Deposit | A refundable deposit held by the platform. | $200 USD. This is held for the first 90 days or until you complete 50 successful transactions, whichever comes later. It acts as a guarantee against fraudulent activities or policy violations. |
| Payment Gateway | How you receive money. | You must have a verified account with a major payment processor like PayPal, Stripe, or Skrill. Bank transfers are available but only for sellers with over $10,000 in lifetime sales. |
| Payout Schedule | When you get paid. | Funds from completed orders are held for a 14-day clearance period to mitigate chargeback risks. Payouts are processed every Tuesday and Thursday. |
It’s important to note that chargebacks are handled strictly. If a buyer initiates a chargeback through their payment provider, the funds are immediately deducted from your seller balance. If your balance is insufficient, the amount will be deducted from your security deposit or future earnings.
Legal and Compliance Obligations
As a seller, you are considered an independent business entity. This means you are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all relevant local, state, and international laws. This is a significant and often overlooked aspect. Key legal considerations include:
- Taxation: You are responsible for declaring your income from FTMGAME and paying any applicable income, sales, or value-added taxes (VAT). The platform may provide tax documentation for sellers exceeding certain revenue thresholds (e.g., $20,000/year in the US), but the ultimate responsibility lies with you.
- Intellectual Property (IP): Your service must not infringe on any third-party IP rights. For example, selling in-game currency or items might violate the Terms of Service (ToS) of the game itself. While FVM Game conducts checks, if a game publisher sends a cease-and-desist order for your service, your account will be suspended, and you assume all legal liability.
- Data Protection: If your service involves handling any buyer data (e.g., game account login details for a power-leveling service), you must comply with data protection regulations like GDPR (in Europe) or CCPA (in California). This includes clearly stating your data handling practices in your service description.
Operational and Performance Metrics
Your ability to sell is not just about meeting initial requirements; it’s about maintaining high performance. FVM Game uses a detailed seller rating system that directly impacts your visibility and privileges on the platform. The key metrics are:
| Metric | Target | Consequence of Not Meeting Target |
|---|---|---|
| Order Completion Rate | > 95% | Listing demotion in search results after 30 days below target. |
| Response Time | < 2 hours | Inability to achieve “Top Rated Seller” status, which comes with a 12% commission rate. |
| Buyer Satisfaction Score | > 4.7 / 5 stars | Account review and potential temporary suspension if the score drops below 4.0 for more than 2 weeks. |
| Dispute Rate | < 3% of total orders | Mandatory completion of a seller education course. A dispute rate exceeding 10% for two consecutive months leads to account termination. |
Maintaining these metrics requires a professional approach to customer service, reliable delivery, and clear communication. The platform provides a dashboard with real-time analytics on these metrics, allowing you to monitor your performance closely.
Technical and Security Protocols
From a technical standpoint, you are required to maintain a secure operating environment. This is especially critical if your service involves accessing a client’s account. Mandatory protocols include:
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): You must enable 2FA on your FVM Game seller account. This is enforced at the account level.
- Secure Communication: All communication with buyers regarding orders must occur through the platform’s encrypted messaging system. Sharing personal email addresses or phone numbers for order-related communication is a violation.
- VPN Usage: If you use a VPN for privacy or security, you must register the static IP address with FVM Game’s support team. Logging in from an unregistered VPN IP can trigger a security lock on your account.
The platform also strongly recommends, and in some cases requires for specific high-risk services, the use of antivirus software and regular system scans to prevent keyloggers or other malware from compromising buyer accounts.
