  "Awesome tool!"

  by stack_b on July 30, 2008

  Pros: It is about time somebody created something to make it safe for people to shop online. I have been using the Shopping Advisor for two days now, and I especially love the merchant rating system. Very cool.

  "I think this is really GOOD!"

  by cosmo1306 on July 30, 2008

  Pros: I got some pretty bad experience with big and small stores, including privacy and security issues. The fact that I can look up the rating of a store and make my own opinion is far better than relying on other's opinion and feedback. I am going to force my wife to install it on her computer!

  "Great tool, easy to use"

  by shlawless on July 28, 2008

  Pros: This is so easy. As someone who has paid for items not delivered, I really value this tool. I will use it for all my shopping moving forward.

  Cons: I just wish more websites offered the bond. I don't think that's related to the software, though.

  "Great tool to protect yourself when shopping online"

  by JAM2K3 on July 28, 2008

  Pros: Online shopping is great because I get the best deals and don't have to deal with the hassles of driving to the store, going into the store, fighting crowds, etc. The downside is that there are soooo many people offering the same product for the price I want. It can be overwhelming to choose who is going to be the best, most reliable merchant. I've heard of many people getting scammed buying online and I've had a few bad experiences myself. Buysafe's Shopping Advisor helps me distinguish the better merchants. I've been using it a few weeks, since I first downloaded the Beta version. Now when I'm on Google and I search for the product I'm looking for, I simply make sure to check for the buysafe signal. That tells me I'm buying from a dependable, trustworthy guy.

  "I'll never second-guess another online purchase!"

  by awp1970 on September 10, 2008

  Pros: Nonintrusive install. Provides merchant rating and bonded merchant info while still using my favorite search engine. When using the Buysafe portal, eBay items show up as well. I would highly recommend checking out this toolbar!

  Cons: I still haven't figured out how the 'local stores' option works on the top of the safe shopping portal.

  Summary: Based on bad experiences friends have had with the supposedly "great deal" they found online, I've always been leary of eBay and other smaller online merchants. Instead, I've often paid more for an item (especially electronics) in order to go with a... read more
