Comment on Amazon hides cheaper items with faster delivery, lawsuit alleges
dirthawker0@lemmy.world 7 months agoI’ve gotten cards that offer a free product for a good review, and cards that offer a gift card, but not an actual refund. I’ve been offered refunds to take down my bad reviews.

I’ve had the exact same experiences, never thought to report it though.

I’ve reported it once. I was emailed about 8 times from different email addresses with very similar text asking me to take down a bad review and they would refund me. A lot of asking for sympathy, we’re very small and a bad review is so devastating. All the refund offers were a little more than what I paid.
After 3 requests I replied with something akin to, “okay, you say you’re trying to improve your product. I want something that works. How about instead of a refund, you send me an improved item, and if it works I’ll give a good review.” And they said they couldn’t. (Of course not, they’re just retailing stuff from some factory and they have zero say in development.)
I didn’t reply, and over the next few weeks I got the rest of the emails from them. So I reported it, sent Amazon screenshots and such. I haven’t looked but I assume they were given the heave ho. They probably just renamed themselves and restarted. But they didn’t email me again.
