Most review platforms are wide open — anyone can leave a glowing five-star rating or a damaging complaint, whether they’ve actually made a purchase or not. 

That’s why TDS reviews are different. And why they’re the only ones that count.

Verified Reviews Tied to Real Orders

Marketplace reviews are a different ball game altogether. You could leave a review on Google, Trustpilot, or LinkedIn right now without ever using their service, but on a marketplace, reviews are enclosed within the platform and are tied to an actual order ID. That makes them far more reliable and trustworthy than open review systems where anyone (including competitors) can leave feedback.

Every review on The Data Supermarket is tied to a genuine transaction. You can’t leave a review unless you actually bought data or leads through the platform. No exceptions.

There are no marketing teams asking friends to leave fake five stars, and no competitors tanking a seller with bogus complaints.

Each review is linked to a specific Order ID that exists in the buyer's account history. Social proof is powerful — but verified proof is what really counts.

  • Every review tied to a real Order ID — no fakes, no spam
  • IP-locked likes — one person, one signal, zero manipulation
  • Sellers can’t self-review — it would cost them, and we’d catch it
  • Searchable seller history — check a supplier’s reputation before buying
  • No Trustpilot style spam — only real reviews from verified buyers
  • Built directly into the transaction layer — not bolted on after the fact

The review system makes it impossible to fake credibility — every single review is tied to a real deal.

Fraud Prevention Built In

TDS tracks review engagement by IP address, meaning no one can upvote or "like" a review more than once. Every signal of trust is genuine. 

Sellers can’t leave reviews about themselves — and even if they tried to game the system by buying their own data to do it, it would cost them real money and trigger internal checks. 

The result? An ecosystem of trust that can’t be artificially manipulated.

Searchable Seller Reputation

Even if you're speaking to a seller outside the TDS platform — maybe through LinkedIn or over email — you can search them on TDS and view verified buyer reviews. 

This gives every buyer an honest picture of seller history, accountability, and satisfaction levels before any money changes hands.

No Comparison to Review Platforms

Platforms like Trustpilot and Google Reviews let anyone say anything. On TDS, it has to come from a real deal. 

No fake reviews. No review bombing. No spam. 

Just genuine feedback from real transactions — built into the same marketplace where the deals actually happen.

Why It Matters

In an industry where reputation is everything and mistakes are expensive, TDS reviews aren’t just helpful. They’re the first layer of defence.

Simply search a sellers name and all their listings will appear, click on one of their listing's, then click their profile for an in-depth review of their reputation on TDS
