API / Trust & risk

Seller trust

Observed reliability rather than a star rating: fulfilment record, cancellation rate, how long they have existed, and whether they are authorised for the brand.

Notes

Deliberately not a star rating. Review scores are gameable and mostly measure how recently a seller bought reviews; observed behaviour over time is harder to fake.

`brand_authorisation` returns `unknown` rather than `unauthorised` where a brand publishes no list. Absence of evidence is stated as such.
