Something that I have to say I never gave any thought too has been Trustpilot. But I have noticed in a few threads at Namepros some think this hurts sales when it’s on the lander.
In a thread about the new afternic ns5 and ns6 nameservers. AEProgram wrote: As long as there is no trust pilot rating it’s great. Dan shows a 4.7 and Sedo lander shows 4.1, only hurts sales in my opinion.
I noticed their rationale in another thread:
It says 4.7 of 5.0 for a lot of people anything below a 5.0 is not good. Now that they have GoDaddy as part of their page, the trust pilot can only hurt and it probably killed a ton of potential sales, people don’t even go further. Even worse, some reviews are really bad and as far as I saw, all from complete idiots.

In that thread I read others suggesting they remove the banner. I think it’s a discussion worth having.
Now when you view a landing page at DAN or Sedo, this is what you see as far as Trust Pilot goes.
Sedo has their Trust Pilot data lower on the page
The question remains how many prospective buyers check out the Trustpilot rating of the marketplace? Should anyone show their Trustpilot score if it’s lower than say 4.7 or 4.8?
Do you think the Trustpilot banner affects sales in a positive or negative way? Leave a comment, thank you.

No I don’t.
Mark Thorpe says
No it doesn’t IMO.
J.R. says
Its an unnecessary addition.
SEDO and Godaddy DAN stand on their own.
The Trustpilot badge should be removed completely, or at least optional.
Haroon Basha says
TrustPilot or TrustDriver, Sales will not affect at all. If the Domain is valuable, nothing can change its destiny.
AbdulBasit Makrani says
I think it will be affecting the sales and Sedo shouldn’t have it because the rating is not impressive.
Jose says
Now that I decide to put 300 domains (Com) of my portfolio in Sedo, the only thing missing is that the landing pages affect sales, as @abdulbasit says
