Why doesn’t Amazon care about the notes that all these sellers are throwing in their products offering money for a positive review?
- sm4rk0 5y agobetter reviews => more sales => more profit
- cortesoft 5y agoDo they? If a product has bad reviews, the person will buy an alternative... but likely also on Amazon.
- kps 5y agoAmazon removes reviews that call this out, so they do care — just in the other direction.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoI just had an argument about this with Amazon support. They took down a review for an item where I mentioned that the manufacturer included a card in the item's box offering to pay you for reviews. Apparently my review violated their "advertising" policy
- fibonachos 5y agoI had a similar experience recently because I called out that the name brand webcam was not in retail packaging. That was the last electronics purchase I’ll likely ever make from Amazon. I ended up returning it and actually found one at Best Buy a few days later.
- russh 5y agoMy favorite rejected review was for 6 slate coasters that arrived as slate chips because they were shipped in a large envelope with no padding.
- PoignardAzur 5y agoI think that might be unprovable. A concurrent could always buy your product and send itself a fake mail promising a discount for a good review, then report the fake mail to amazon. I don't know if that actually happens in practice.
