AI trust report · Online stores

Our AI check of 28 October 2026 gave shein.com 67/100 (medium trust), mainly because the operator could not be confirmed automatically; the score is an indication.

Business Check · October 28, 2026
Shein received a trust score of 67, a medium level, based on 12 pages read on shein.com. Positive signals include a known organisation listed on Wikidata as founded in 2008, a domain registered 28.8 years ago, a Tranco ranking of 483 among the most visited sites, HTTPS, no listing by Google Safe Browsing, and an AI content review with 4 positive and 3 negative findings. Our AI could not confirm automatically who runs the site, a legal notice page or a matching register entry, and one web result on bbb.org reports complaints about Shein. Because the people behind the site could not be confirmed automatically, our team can review the case manually. This score is an indication built from public signals, not a legal or financial assessment.
