Check It Out Extension

Used on eBay or Amazon, we'll remind you when you are not buying directly from the manufacturer or a retailer you know and trust.
In the last year, over 4 million UK shoppers bought a fake electrical product and a quarter of these were purchased from an online marketplace.

Did you know that when you buy from an online marketplace, you are buying from an unregulated third party seller? This lack of regulation means that it is easy for counterfeit and sub-standard products to be sold.

Compatible with Amazon and eBay, the Check It Out Chrome extension will remind you when you are not buying directly from the manufacturer or a retailer you know and trust.

obehi oriakhi (ID: 0000006f275e8e79) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/23/2020 This is really useful, i am now aware of where i am buying from.

Debbie Smith (ID: 0000005eb9eb08ac) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/19/2019 I thought Amazon regulated everything that was sold through their own site, but turns out not and it's actually really easy buy something fake/dangerous.. This extension is helpful to point out when it's not sold by Amazon and therefore not regulated so who know's what you might be buying... Good on ebay too. Plus it's not annoying and doesn't pop up too much on the page like other extensions do - won't be uninstalling this one!

Emma Drackford (ID: 000000b9e55542f2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/04/2019 A great way of flagging when you need to be a bit cautious with what you're buying!

Rowan Cavanagh (ID: 0000000357ca74fc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/03/2019 Made me realise Amazon sells a lot of electronics that could be made by absolutely anyone. Unsafe.

Sam Gooch (ID: 0000001b14bab26e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/29/2019 Actually a really useful tool which takes the pain away from having to locate and check the seller information yourself. Unlike some extensions, this is unobtrusive to the browsing experience. It would be good to extend this to some other sites in the future.
