			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a power shopper on eBay then you probably know by now to check for feedback before making a purchase. However, finding negative feedbacks through the heaps of positive feedback can take time. Fortunately, eBay Negs is a Firefox addon that sorts the seller&#8217;s feedback page and lets you view only negative feedback.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/102_thumb1.png?570cd5" alt="view only negative feedback on ebay" /></p>
<p>Once you have installed the addon, you can click through the context menus to read a seller&#8217;s negative feedback. Just right-click on an eBay page then enter a profile name to read the negs within the page or in a new tab. You can also highlight profile names and right-click to bring up any negative/neutral comments in the past 12 months or 30 days.</p>
<p>This tool is a nice addition for eBay buyers who have already been burned a few times. Keeping this handy will help you put the breaks on before your impulse to buy takes over, helping you deal with only the most credible eBay sellers and steering you away from bad deals.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Free; no sign up required.</li>
<li>Firefox extension.</li>
<li>Right click page to read negative feedback on eBay.</li>
<li>Read negative feedback in the last 30 days.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online shopping isn&#8217;t without its perils. You end up with a bad seller and you can rest assured that it&#8217;ll cost you a good bit of time and money. Addoway is a service that helps to reduce these risks by helping you to see if any of your Facebook friends have purchased from that seller in the past, and then ask for feedback. It uses Facebook Connect for that purpose. It also encourages sellers to show information like eBay ratings, Amazon ratings, YouTube videos and other social media to make the selling process more transparent.</p>

<p>Addoway is a new site so therefore you might not find a Facebook friend of yours using it yet. Also, most of the listings are currently sourced from eBay. But the site is growing and this social shopping experience isn&#8217;t available on many sites. So it&#8217;s worth giving it a shot.</p>
<p>For more info watch video below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you buy something from eBay, most people usually check the seller&#8217;s feedback score and his profile page to view the comments from previous buyers.
