I’ve written before about the number of reviewers who have
had their reviews pulled from Amazon for various reasons. I’ve heard that some
people have reposted them with success, but perhaps those reviews will be pulled again,
who knows? If it’s any help, I found a link to Amazon’s latest review policies.
You’ll note that Amazon clearly says they haven’t changed their policies. They
don’t and never have accepted promotional content. There are other reasons for pulling
a review, which includes:
- product manufacturer posts a
review of their own product, posing as an unbiased shopper
- A shopper, unhappy with her purchase,
posts multiple negative reviews for the same product
- A customer posts a review in
exchange for $5
- A customer posts a review of
a game, in exchange for bonus in-game credits
- A family member of the
product creator posts a five-star customer review to help boost sales
- A shopper posts a review of
the product, after being promised a refund in exchange.
- A seller posts negative
reviews on his competitor's product
- An artist posts a positive
review on a peer's album in exchange for receiving a positive review from
them
