User reviews

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
