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.

@yvan Considering nobody should trust these reviews anyway, I'd be tempted. Considering lots of people do trust them, I wouldn't do it.

@luppano yeah, I mean, I left the negative review in the first place for the sole reason of warning others about the product quality... it'd be pretty remiss of me to change that to 5-stars just for 30 quid... the price on foregoing my own ethics and responsibility to others is much higher than that.

@yvan @luppano

There is another option which I'm not going to comment on the ethics of: bump your review up to 5 stars, take the £30, spend it, then whack it down to 1 star, possibly recounting the tale of how they offered you £30 for a 5 star review.
