So this is rather blatant.

I left a 2-star review for this product a week ago - because one of the microphones simply died, doesn't charge (I've not investigated). Yesterday in the post I get something offering me a £30 voucher (about twice the value of the item) if I show them I have left a 5-star review.

LOL at "Attention: For your account's safety, please don't attach this card to your review."

Are Amazon sellers permitted to basically buy 5-star reviews?

Partly I'm tempted because thirty quid is thirty quid, but mainly I don't think it is something I can do, I'd feel the guilt of it for years.

I have now submitted a review compensation violation report as per: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GLHXEX85MENUE4XF#GUID-41F496FE-6F93-4D98-B9CE-0F6DD5522C9E__SECTION_0124717E5C2A43019FB5D697A309A93E

@yvan

I'm wondering how much Amazon cares, so long as they keep getting sales transactions.

@Maker_of_Things no idea, they care enough to have a form specifically for reporting this particular violation... but what happens to the reports... who knows! I'll report here if I get any feedback from it, or if I notice the seller vanishes from the marketplace lol.

IMO they have so much crap listed that taking a hard line on eliminating reported shit is likely to do them more good than harm. Sellers like this are a dime a dozen, and ultimately it is just a setback to a dodgy seller, what's the bet they operate 10 other seller accounts anyway, and they can just start a new one any time one is shut down.
