- The Seller offers to provide a reimbursement after a seller review – aiming to avoid rebate groups
- If you email a customer offering a discount for changing a review or instigating review changes then you’ve triggered this violation

- Snagshout forced customers to write a review before letting them get their next deal – to avoid maybe given this ToS update
- A family member posts a review of your or the competitor’s product
- Seller asks for a reviewer to change or remove their review for compensation
- A seller diverts negative reviews to be sent to them or via a different feedback mechanism rather than via Amazon while positive reviews only go to Amazon – diverting negative reviews from being written
- Seller creates a variation relationship between products with aim of manipulating reviews or review changes and star rating aggregation
- Amazon are splitting reviews by variations to try and catch this problem
- A Seller inserts into the packaging of shipping packaging or box asking for a review – think it’s okay to ask for a review not a positive review
- Seller uses a seller uses a customer account to write or change a review on a competitor products – seems to try and catch hacking of customer accounts
