    First off they won't let you message a seller without a verified email and US-only cell number (no Canadian or VoIP numbers allowed).
    I was finally able to register a number thanks to an American friend.
    Then, when messaging the seller, the site forcibly strips my contact info out of the message.
    Then it locks me out of messaging unless I give them my photo ID.
    And even when I try to submit my ID, their automatic system kicks up a fuss and won't verify it.
    Their support has been garbage the entire time.
    0/10 would not recommend.
