Amazon and Facebook now sharing information to detect ⊗⊗⊗⊗ Reviews?

vqwaz · #1 07-11-2018

Amazon has been sending feedback violation emails to other sellers who post discounted products on Facebook groups. How did Amazon come to know about this as Facebook is a different platform and Amazon cannot watch huge number of such posts. Is it that our Facebook Account gets tied with our Amazon Account and they catch us using IP Address/Mac Address?

Also Amazon says that friends and family can not review our products. On one side Amazon sends notifications for sharing listings with family or friends on social media and on the other side it says that family or friends cannot post reviews. How do they detect that the review was from a friend or family?

Amazon has always been good at that. And they are getting rid of incentivized reviews.

IN a sense I don't like people just getting freebies either way then they post whatever review they want.

Is it cheaper to personally leave reviews using amz gift cards ? If you figure in product cost. You would not need to mail item ect.

If you can not get caught you can try.

REgardless AZ still deleted legitimate reviews nowadays.

Public groups are definitely hazardous. Are they also submitting to closed groups?
From a long term approach, its about getting your marketing strategies in place and implemented to really drive that review funnel. Either gotta get stealthy or do creative advertisement.

1 - No, Amazon cannot see which FB account is yours
2 - That is a very very open question. It could be from something as simple as a shared address or shared IP to all sorts of other things
3 - Also very open ended.

You can leave reviews for your self, as long as you only do one per account. Just avoid making patterns. If i remeber right it equated to like 8$ a review. Kinda pricey.
