Why am I unable to rent items with a higher market value? down

Elephant Please has a three-tier identity verification procedure, which is a safe, simple and fast way to keep the community safe and secure. To rent an item with a higher market value, the renter must verify their identity with us. All personal data will be encrypted and stored securely. Together we can build safe communities.
