Is channeladvisor.com Safe?

From Channeladvisor's LinkedIn page ( ***** ), "ChannelAdvisor (NYSE: ECOM) is a leading provider of cloud-based e-commerce solutions that enable retailers and manufacturers to integrate, manage and optimize their merchandise sales across hundreds of online channels including Amazon, Google, eBay, Facebook and more." From what I can get from their home page and LinkedIn profile, Channeladvisor sells services to retailers so that the retailer can publish a product with Channeladvisor that basically says something like, "I have 2139 boxes of Widget 27s to sell at $27, 19774 packages of Trixlets to sell at $17 and so on." Channeladvisor places the products on a some number of web sites (presumably from a list chosen by the retailer) in parallel and then tracks how many of each product sold, when it sold and from where. That way the seller doesn't have to split their inventory across multiple sites and risk selling out at one site while having products sitting idle at another. Kind of slick really. I didn't see anything about this site that let's me think they are really interested in tracking shoppers. I suspect the elements on the page that NoScript is flagging are used for analytics collection. Their privacy policy gets a little muddled in my opinion in that they mix what they collect from shoppers (i.e., you and I) and from clients (retailers that visit their web site to set up products and review results) together. From what I read, they are mostly tracking their customers, not their customer's customers (again, you and I).

I think it is important for people to note that while tracking does go on, there are other ways to block it. This site, according to SafeBrowsing, has not hosted malicious software despite over 30 pages being tested. hpHost report find the site benign. Hosted on over 30 networks, no malicious activity. Use Ghostery if you find tracking objectionable.
