Trustpilot Guard

Trustpilot is a free and easy way to avoid being ripped off when you shop online. Search results are given a check mark in green or red. Green means the site has a high rating and many positive reviews, red is a sign to stay away — the site has mostly negative reviews and lots of user complaints.

Trustpilot gives its ratings based on reviews and media stories it collects from the web. At the present time, it has over 1 million reviews and stories. The download is quick and free and is unobtrusive. All you see is a green check mark on your browser info bar (next to the home icon on IE7).

Google searches will show the check marks next to sites Trustpilot has info on, and if you visit an E-tail site directly you can use the check mark to see what the Trustpilot rating is. It’s a quick and easy way to find out if a site is safe to buy from or not.
