Summary
Dupely is a trust-focused shopping tool that helps consumers navigate online shopping manipulation. It offers DupeScore to find identical products for less, Trust This Price to flag fake savings using 90-day price history, and seller badges based on real buyer feedback (shipping, condition, packaging). The article discusses how seller badges are earned through verified buyer feedback rather than purchased, and acknowledges the potential for gaming the system while arguing the incentives align with honest seller behavior. Available on iOS, Android, and Chrome.

· 3 pulledThe badge isn't sold to sellers, it's earned from real buyer feedback: did they ship on time, did the item arrive in the condition advertised, was it packaged well, any damage, and so on.
To 'optimize the badge,' a seller basically has to ship on time and not lie about their product. That's the behavior we want anyway.
Will sellers eventually try to game it the way people buy fake product reviews today? Of course.
