The Problem

Platform ratings protect platforms, not collectors.

You're about to drop $500 on a break. The seller has a 4.9 rating on Whatnot. What you can't see: the complaints on eBay, the scam reports on TikTok, the collectors they burned last month before switching platforms.

Every platform keeps its ratings siloed. Seller-funded trade programs have a financial interest in passing their members. And the hobby pays the price.

  • Reviews disappear when sellers change platforms
  • No background check ever ran on your breaker
  • Seller-funded programs aren't independent
  • Real complaints get buried, not surfaced

BreakCheck Certified

One reputation. Every platform. Collector-owned.

BreakCheck collects verified collector reviews from every platform a seller operates on, then makes that complete record public and portable. When a seller changes platforms, their real reputation follows.

Sellers who want to stand out can earn BreakCheck Certified status: a real background check, a documented ethics standard, and a public accountability record. Paid for by collectors. Accountable to collectors.

  • Cross-platform review aggregation — one complete record
  • BreakCheck Certified: background check + ethics verification
  • Public accountability — nothing hidden, nothing seller-gated
  • 100% collector-funded, platform-independent governance
How BreakCheck Works

Built for collectors who spend real money.

01

Cross-platform reputation, unified.

A seller's reviews from Whatnot, TikTok Shop, eBay, Fanatics Live, and Instagram Live all flow into one verified BreakCheck profile. One search shows you the complete picture — not just the rating they curated on one platform.

02

BreakCheck Certified: what it actually means.

BreakCheck Certified is a paid verification process — sellers cover the cost of the background check, ethics training, and review process. What they cannot do is pay to hide reviews, skip a failing result, or buy a passing outcome. Individual certification is $199 ($159 renewal). Business accounts are $349 plus $99 per additional employee.

Background Check — Identity and criminal record verification by a third-party screening provider.
Ethics Standards — Documented agreement to BreakCheck's published code — packing, shipping, odds disclosure, dispute resolution.
Public Record — Certification status and any revocations are public. Collectors can see the full history, not just the current badge.
Annual Review — Certification renews yearly. Conduct issues trigger review. No grandfathering.
03

Public accountability. Nothing hidden.

Every BreakCheck profile is permanent and public. Dispute records, review responses, certification history, and revocations all live in one place any collector can access before buying a spot.

Independent Oversight

Sellers pay to enter the verification process — not to influence results. Collector tools are always free.

Immutable Review Record

Reviews cannot be deleted by sellers. Disputes are documented, not erased.

Revocation Transparency

If a certification is pulled, the reason is public and permanent.

Platform Sync Alerts

Collectors get notified when a seller they follow changes platforms.

The scale of the problem

Real money. Real risk. Real accountability gap.

The Problem

A seller banned on eBay for pulling short can open a new Whatnot account tomorrow. The platforms don't share data. There is no cross-platform record — until now.

The accountability gap BreakCheck is built to close

Platform fragmentation

Four major break platforms. Zero shared review data. A seller's history on one platform is invisible to the others.

No background check standard

Any major platform lets anyone start selling live breaks with no identity verification and no criminal record check.

Reviews that disappear

Sellers who get bad ratings can simply change platforms — or get suspended and start fresh. The record doesn't follow them.

Join BreakCheck

BreakCheck is building the independent trust layer the hobby has needed for years. Join as a collector to vet sellers before you buy, or apply for BreakCheck Certified status if you're a seller ready to stand behind your record.

Search, reviews, and verification are free for collectors. Certification ($199 individual / $349 business) covers the background check and review process.
