Verified Provider status requires a bit more than having a review, but it is not difficult. From the second thread in Provider Ads forum, here are the requirements and the process for making your request:
Verified Provider process for ECCIE (Please Read)
Ladies, you may post a weekly ad in this section once you have been upgraded to Verified Provider.
Submit your info to the staff at
dallas@eccie.net
1. website address (your website or advertising site)
2. referral from another provider or hobbyist
3. links to reviews from recognized members (any site)
Any combination of the above requirements which will sufficiently establish you as a legit provider will be accepted.
The verification process could take 24-48 hours.
