Why do I need to verify my email address?
Updated 5 Oct 2026
When you sign up with an email address, we send you a verification link. Verifying confirms the address belongs to you and unlocks the rest of Yews.
What needs a verified email
Publishing a listing (you can still save drafts)
Sending and receiving messages
Sending a custom checkout to a buyer
Withdrawing money from your wallet to your bank account

How to verify
Open the email from Yews with the subject "Verify your email".
Tap the link. You'll see "Your email is verified — you're all set."
The link works for 24 hours.
Didn't get the email, or the link expired?
Go to Profile.
In the Account group, find Email.
Tap Resend verification email.
Check your spam or promotions folder if it doesn't arrive.
If you signed up with Google, your email address is already verified.
