- Provides useful trust ratings (A/B/C/D) for product reviews to help consumers make informed decisions.

- Useful tool to navigate through cluttered and potentially misleading online product reviews.
Cons
- False positives or inaccurate seller warnings, such as flagging sellers with verified high ratings as risky.

- Limited or no support for certain Amazon regional domains (e.g., amazon.ae, amazon.de, amazon.co.za) and HTTPS links leading to errors.

Ahmed Hegazi, 2025-04-20I sell on eBay and have a 100% positive feedback score with 1373 transactions, most of which have been sales. Yet for some reason this extension gave ME a certified "Seller Caution by Fakespot Guard" claiming I had no seller history. I have literally hundreds of well written reviews that go into detail what was purchased from me, speed of delivery, attention to customer service, ect. So if this garbage extension got me dead wrong how can I possibly believe anything it "warns" me of? It's all a bunch of gibberish b.s. The irony of being called fakespot while being fake itself is almost to much.
......10+ pages of reviews, top rated seller for past 3 years.......ridiculous to give me a warning saying no history!! See for yourself Eriecomics@eBay

phillip johnson, 2025-04-07I am not sure what happened in mid 2024 but this extension started making chrome almost unusable. It freezes chrome for a few seconds when closing a single tab, and close to half a minute when closing multiple tabs. Shame because I like the extension it self, but I cant keep this enabled for day to day use if it makes my browser so laggy.
