How We Rank
The evidence and scoring rules behind Rip & Ship rankings.
Our six factors
Odds and transparency: 25%. Buybacks and payouts: 20%. Shipping and global availability: 15%. Payment options and fees: 15%. Trust and reputation: 15%. Collectible selection: 10%.
No fabricated ratings
Each factor is assessed from 0 to 10 using sourced information. The overall score is published only when all six factors have been assessed. Unknown information is never silently scored as positive.
What verified means
A direct platform policy can verify what a company currently states; it does not independently verify fulfillment or odds fairness. Independent verification needs separate testing or auditable evidence.
Updates and corrections
Each review includes evidence links and a last-checked field. We correct documented errors and reassess scores when underlying policies change.
Conflict of interest
Affiliate links or paid relationships do not affect editorial ratings. Any such relationship must be disclosed on the review and on the affiliate disclosure page.
