How Mr Live Shopping Scores Whatnot Sellers

A seller score should be reproducible. It should not be a popularity contest or a paid endorsement disguised as research.

Eligibility

A seller is not scored until the record contains:

• Profile URL
• Category
• Rating and rating count
• Sold count
• Average shipping time
• Review date
• At least two observed shows or a meaningful order sample
• Disclosure notes
• Pricing notes
• Fulfillment notes
• Conflict disclosure

Price-claim accuracy

Record whether the seller uses:

• Completed sales
• Asking prices

• Wrong product configuration
• Unsupported appraisal

A seller may advertise with Mr Live Shopping, but:

• Payment does not raise the score.
• Sponsored placement is labeled.
• Affiliate relationships are disclosed.
• A seller can be removed after new evidence.
• Review data remains separate from sales agreements.
