    Is this marketplace legit? Here is what we measured

    Almost every page answering this question is written by someone earning a commission on the answer. We are not. We do not sell on any of these marketplaces, we take no payment from them, and each assessment below is computed from our own crawler rather than repeated from the marketplace's own copy. Last recomputed 2026-11-05.

    The signals we publish per marketplace are the ones that actually distinguish a real catalog from a manufactured one: how many separate days we have observed it, how many price snapshots we hold, what share of listings never changed their advertised price, how large the swing was where prices did move, what share of listings have since disappeared, and the refund window they publish. Low price stability with a large average swing is the signature of an inflated "was" price. High churn is not dishonest, but it tells you an offer may not be there next week.

    One boundary worth stating plainly: this measures catalog behaviour, not support quality, and marketplace legitimacy is a separate question from product quality. A completely legitimate marketplace routinely sells software that its vendor later abandons.
