User reviews

this should be mandatory for anyone using amazon! I now automatically ignore every "new seller alert" - way too many alphabet soup companies springing up.

I love this extension. It helps me determine whether the reviews (bad or good) can be trusted. So far, I've done some of my own research and it seems pretty accurate. You have to use a little common sense when using this service. An "A" rating doesn't mean it's a good product, it just means the reviews appear to be trustworthy, so if the reviews are more negative, you can bet that an average person will feel the same. For people saying it's useless, i think RTFM is in order.

Useless on the sites I've checked. On eBay it will verify a seller with a low rating, and flag a seller with a perfect 100% feedback rating, and also give false information ("item in different location than seller" "seller does not have return policy" etc. ) Not a trust-worthy app, which is ironic
