It's interesting how it's actually really easy to notice this happening as a random consumer (I've seen it a few times, in fact) but somehow impossible for Amazon to do anything about, and presumably when they do they don't bother putting in much effort to properly punish sellers for it. It's almost like Amazon does not give a shit.
- PaulHoule 2y agoPart of my falling out with AMZN was when I saw a product listing that where somewhere between fraud and word salad, complained, and was told that AMZN doesn't care what I think about a product listing unless I bought the product. Problem is if I try to buy something on AMZN I need to sift through large numbers of junk product listings, a problem I don't have with best buy, petsmart, adorama, or other reputable online retailers. Even the marketplaces like Ebay, Etsy and Temu seem less offensive to me. Result = I canceled my Prime subscription and now AMZN is the last place I will go to buy something and not the first.
- radicality 2y agoI wrote another comment in the thread about it, but fyi as of now mid-2024 giving out incentives (free items / discounts / cashback etc) conditioned on a positive review, is considered fraud and can be reported as such on https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ . Next time I see such an offer in an item I order I will definitely report it. Maybe it will improve the online shopping landscape by an epsilon if we all do it.
