Trust Scores

Score ranges explained

Trust Scores fall into four ranges. Each range has a color label and a plain-language meaning so you can judge a site at a glance.

The four ranges

Range Score Color What it means
Excellent 90–100 Green Strong track record across all four factors. Verified protections, high review volume, transparent business details.
Good 75–89 Amber Solid overall. May have a weaker area (e.g., limited transparency) but no major red flags.
Average 50–74 Orange Mixed signals. Some factors score well, others fall short. Review the breakdown before transacting.
Poor 0–49 Red Significant gaps in one or more factors. Proceed with caution and read recent reviews carefully.

How to use ranges

The range gives you a starting point. A site in the Excellent range has consistently high ratings, verified security features, and public business information. You can transact with higher confidence.

A site in the Good range performs well overall but may lag in one area. Check the factor breakdown on the site's profile page to see where points are lost.

Average and Poor ranges

Sites in the Average range show uneven results. One factor might score well while another drags the total down. For example, a site could have strong reviews but no published business address. The individual factor scores show exactly where the gaps are.

Sites in the Poor range have significant weaknesses. Common causes include few or negative reviews, missing security features, and no disclosed business information. A low score does not automatically mean a site is unsafe, but it does mean the available data raises concerns.

Ranges are relative

A score of 78 means the site performs better than most sites on the platform across all four factors. The ranges are fixed thresholds, not percentiles. If every site improved its security and transparency, more sites would move into the Excellent range.
