How verdicts work

Personalization only changes the order of your search results; it never changes a verdict, and no store can pay to change the ranking. Commission and affiliate tags are never used in any ranking calculation.

Bazaar gives a product a verdict only when the data supports it. When there isn't enough data, it shows no verdict at all, never a positive one by default.

Cheaper elsewhere: the same product (matched by its product ID, not just a similar item) is sold by another store for less, counting delivery when the store lists it. We show that store and how much you'd save. This appears once a product's store prices have been loaded, which happens when you open it.

You may already own this: you're signed in and My Stuff has a very similar item you bought in the last 12 months and still own. We show which item and when.

We don't show "Good price" or "Pricey" verdicts, because store data doesn't tell us a product's typical price, and we won't guess.

Verdicts are calculated automatically from data. No one at Bazaar can set one by hand, stores cannot pay to change one, and whether Bazaar earns a commission never affects a verdict.

Prices, delivery and stock come from the stores and can change. The store confirms the final price when you buy.
