Theres always an issue with Amazon reviews one way or another

I write reviews on Amazon for sites where I get free products to test like AMZreviewtrader and Reviewergroup etc. I have been doing this for 6 months now approximately and there is always some kind of problem with their site. The current problem is that when the reviews are submitted they are only showing 2 photos out of all the ones that I post. This makes me look bad as a reviewer. I take pride in my reviews so I will get chosen to test more things so all these problems that Amazon has with their reviews posting really is a burden. I contacted customer support about 3 that were missing a bunch of pictures. They responded telling me that the reviews had been posted. This was something I already knew! That was no help at all. Today I contacted them again telling them that 2 more were missing pictures so now 5 total are missing photos. I hope they take care of this issue soon as I have many more reviews to write this week.

It is infuriating when you put a lot of work into something only to fall at the last hurdle, such as finally submitting it.

Yes it can be pretty darn irritating especially since one issue with them resolves another one pops up.

Did you need to pay them so you could do reviews? I was contacted by Amazon a few months ago about doing some work for them as an affiliate, and it would have cost me a bundle to do so. I hope everything gets straightened out for you.

No as this is not for Amazon its for other sellers. If Amazon wanted you to work for them why would it cost you money. To me it sounds like someone trying to scam you!

@shaggin I think it's an affiliation program they have that costs to join.

Do you contact them when it happens? It's not good it makes us look bad to sellers if we don't include much detail or pictures.

Customer service is not in America I think the issues sometimes is they just don't understand as easily as someone who knows the english language as a native language would.

All 5 reviews that were missing photos are now showing them all after contacting them about it. Hopefully it won't happen again on the next reviews I write.

Lot of overly angry reviews make it seem like revenge reviews by competitor lol. and lot of fake reviews lately.

I see to many reviews that boast how amazing the products are and to me when I have tested these things out and they are terrible it is obvious they are not writing accurate reviews. I am not afraid to give honest opinions. That is the whole point of the reviews so others know to buy or not.

That has to be really annoying when you are putting so much work into your reviews!

Yes it is very annoying especially having to contact them over different issues all the time.

I hope that they can fix this problem. The Amazon support is not always the best.

They are changing things again. Sellers are not allowed to give things away for free or at a discount in exchange for a review. Now people who receive products can review them OR not. I have seen a large decrease in the amount of sellers offering items for free now as they don't want to spend money on this sites only to have people just take the product and not help their business at all.
