The latest version of Amazon Deal Button features the following improvements:

  • Compatible with Firefox 4
  • Sort discounted products by customer review, best sellers, price and release dates.  You can change this setting in Options.  Default sort option is by customer review.
  • Added Top Rated section for Amazon US.  In addition to Bestsellers, Movers and Shakers, Hot New Releases, Most Gifted and Most Wished For sections, Amazon US recently launched a new section called Top Rated which allows online shoppers to browse products by customer reviews and by categories.  The products with the overall highest customer review among biggest customer population are ranked highest.
  • Updated deal links for Amazon US, UK and Germany.  Since last version was released about 4 months ago, a few changes have happened to Amazon US, UK and Germany site structure, these changes are reflected.
  • Search highlighted keywords using Amabay and compare Amazon and eBay prices based on your country setting.  For example, if your Amazon Deal Button country is set to UK, you will see Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk price comparison results.
  • Look and Feel.  The menu item icons are now changed to a uniform yellow post-it icon instead of English letters used in previous versions.

Caveats related to sort by settings:

  • Sort by setting only applies to discounted products section
  • Sort by release date option is not available to all product categories, for example, DIY & Tools in Amazon UK

We’ve released a new version of AmabayFox, the major improvement was to support Amazon and eBay international sites.   Amazon US, UK, Japan, Germany sites and eBay US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Austria, Australia, Italy, Spain etc. sites are now supported, now you may compare Amazon and eBay prices from all the above country websites.

We try to compare prices between Amazon and eBay in the same country, and it’s true for most countries for example, if you click from Amazon.co.uk, you get result between Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk.  For a small number of other countries, because  they are not supported by eBay or Amazon, you’ll need to compare with another country’s results. These situations include:

  • click from amazon.co.jp, you get amazon.co.jp vs. ebay.com
  • click from ebay.ie,  you get amazon.co.uk vs. ebay.ie
  • click from ebay.co.au, you get amazon.com vs. ebay.co.au
  • click from ebay.be, ebay. at, ebay.es, ebay.it, ebay.ch, or ebay.nl,  you get amazon.de vs. these countries’ ebay results

Firefox Addon: Amazon Deal Button 1.1.20100502 Version Released

Leave a comment

FFAmznSaleAfter the first version of Amazon Deal Button was released, we received a couple of suggestions.  One of them was to simplify menu items and to allow users to customize discount percentage ranges.

That’s a really good point and we did achieve that in this new version.   In summary, major changes made in this new version are:

  • Choose your own range of discount percentage for any product categories on Amazon US and UK sites. For example, you can choose 20% or more as your preferred discount range, thereafter all your clicks on discount links will lead you to see products 20% off or more on Amazon. You may change this setting any time and get desired discount percentage range immediately.
  • Bug Fix: when you use Small Icons options when you customize Firefox Toolbar, size of Amazon Deal Button will adjust accordingly.

The following flow chart (click to enlarge) shows how easy it is to customize range of discount percentages.

Addon Description

Are you a fan of Amazon or eBay, or are you just a fan of good products at lowest price? No matter which type you fit in, AmabayFox allows you to search both Amazon and eBay for a product and compare prices between these two online shops side by side to find best deals.

In addition to that, unlike other price comparison Firefox Addons which force you to choose your keyword by either typing or highlighting, AmabayFox places a down-to-earth Compare button beside the product you are browsing on online shop website (currently Amazon, more shops to be added), all you need is one click on the button, and there you go with Amazon and eBay prices side by side displayed in front of you.

There is no permanent toolbar or button on your browser that comes with AmabayFox, since the AmabayFox button only shows up when you are on product web page.
