The seller in question was selling items they didn't have at a nearly 50% markup.

I had an Amazon seller offer to send me a gift card if I changed my review so I said I would take the card but would probably only change my review to note the gift card offer.

Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times

I always tell them I'll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.

So far I've only had one taker.

It's explicitly against Amazon's ToS to incentivize reviews, or write/modify reviews in exchange for any kind of compensation. This includes the typical business card included in the box with the product pleading for 5 stars and promising "free gifts" or store credits. When I still used Amazon, any time I got one of those it was the only thing I mentioned in my review.

I don't know if anyone actually meaningfully enforces this, but quite a few things I've reviewed in such a way seemed to disappear from the site more quickly than usual.

Amazon doesn't care because they are making money. Good luck getting them to actually fix the problems.

[–] YamahaRevstar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why did you buy it from them when it was cheaper elsewhere?

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe he found out after the fact?

I try to avoid Amazon when possible. I've had this happen, too. I paid a couple extra dollars on eBay in order to avoid Amazon, and the item came from Amazon anyway.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's exactly what happened here. Except it was $11 more. In restrospect, I should have compared it with prices on Amazon.

Are they not spamming 5 star reviews to the limit so that no new ones can be submitted anymore? Because that's also a thing they do with less effort.
