Before You Order From a Marketplace

Check the specific seller's or listing's own rating on the marketplace, not just the platform's overall score.
Start with a smaller order before committing to a large purchase, especially with a new seller.
Use the platform's built-in payment and dispute process rather than moving off-platform.
Keep records of the listing, price and any chat communication until the order is confirmed complete.

These points describe what to check with any marketplace; they are not claims about ShadowPay's specific policies. Scores are editorial assessments (see Our Review Process) and are compared only with vendors reviewed on MMODude.

How We Rank Vendors

Scores on this page are informed by publicly available trust signals — Trustpilot ratings and review volume, third-party trust-scanner assessments, and patterns reported across forums and review sites — combined into our own editorial assessment. They are not a substitute for checking current reviews yourself before buying. See our full review process for details.
