How to Check if an Online Store Is Real and Trustworthy

March 9th, 2014 · No Comments

Shopping online can be secure and safe when you buy at known online stores like Ebay etc. But you sometimes bump into online stores that you don’t recognize, that offer good deals. In this case there are two things you should check:

  1. Is this store real and not some scam?
  2. If it’s real, is it reliable?

You can get answers to these questions. Just enter the online store’s web address in one of the site list below, and get real user’s ratings, infor about who is running this domain and reviews from that store.

  • ScamAdviser – Enter any URL to get a trust score, domain info, and scam risk indicators.
  • URLVoid – Scans the URL against multiple security services and shows domain reputation.
  • Trustpilot – Search for store reviews written by real users.
  • ResellerRatings – Provides detailed customer reviews of online retailers, including shipping and service ratings.
  • Better Business Bureau (BBB) – Useful for US/Canada businesses. Shows reviews, complaints, and business ratings.
  • Whois Lookup – Find out when a domain was registered and by whom.
