This matches what I see. What's even more annoying is that it seems like every third party seller also has decided it's a good idea to spam me with emails asking for reviews after every purchase. Amazon provides no way of unsubscribing from there (they block one particular seller if you contact them, which is utterly useless)
- Alupis 10y agoThere's a few things that may be happening. Amazon, themselves, will send 2 notifications about a week apart, for feedback on the order. But yes, a lot of sellers have started emailing customers as well. On average, and other sellers agree, about 10% of customers leave order feedback. Order feedback is critical to gaining search visibility on Amazon, so sellers live and die by feedback... this is the main motive behind trying to solicit it where possible.
