There are several of these type sites. I'll toss a few at you and
maybe others will add to the pile:
(1) Better Business Bureau
http://www.bbb.org
Yes, this well known organization is now quite busy collecting and in
some cases, resolving complaints with e-commerce sites. When people
get burned from an online shopping site, odds are they report that to
the BBB. So this would be a good first stop to check if the site with
which you wish to do business, has any black marks against them.
(2) The National Consumer Complaint Center

These next three are Certification sites that rate and review online
shopping sites and issue "seals of approval" in some cases:
(3) Web Trust
http://www.aicpa.org/
(4) The Public Eye
http://www.thepubliceye.com/review.htm
(5) Web Assurance Bureau (now called WebAssured.com)
