Except negative non-verified reviews tend to be helpful, especially for sellers that constantly relist the same product under different listings.
I've bought a few products that are bad to the level of fraudulent, only to see the product relisted so that my review wouldn't be verified.
Off course this could be abused by leaving fake negative reviews for competitors.
Whack mole. Repeat.
- heartbeats 7y agoWhat about making them stick, somehow? If I leave a negative review for a product that later gets delisted, Amazon could flag the account on basis of "deleted product with poor reviews". It could then try and see if there are any substantially similar items listed a week on. If so, ban them. Perhaps even easier, make verified negative reviews stick to the seller's account. If you delist a product with negative reviews, those just transfer over to the seller, so you see a 5-star product sold by a 1-star seller.
