Re: IBUY customer complaints:

Those wishing to see for themselves can go to the dejanews power search page to get a feel for the volume and tenor of Usenet messages concerning Shopping.com:

dejanews.com

When I did the search a few minutes ago it indicated approximately 11,000 messages concerning Shopping.com. The 11,000 count is an approximation - Furthermore, when I performed a similar search a while back, dejanews said there were 22,000 messages - so the approximation may not be very good. Not all of the messages are complaints about IBUY. Some simply are informational posts about IBUY's prices, some relate to clearing up confusion between Shopping.com and other online retailers, one or two actually concern relatively good shopping experiences at shopping.com. Nonetheless, quite a few relate to bad shopping experiences. I suggest anyone considering an investment in this company spend at least a little time going through some of these posts.
