Brand owners are now able to ask buyers to remove negative product reviews on Amazon

Recently, Amazon launched a new feature enabling their Amazon Brand Registry participants to address negative Product Reviews with thee stars and less. Affected merchants will be able to reach out to buyers directly and offer them full refunds and support.

This move sounds really shocking to some Amazon Sellers, since Amazon was always strictly prohibiting incentivizing Buyers to revise or remove their ratings in exchange for refunds or free items.

Obviously, what else will be the outcome of having a seller contact a buyer who negatively impacted their livelihood with a Product Review? It is highly unlikely that a Brand Owner will offer to issue a full refund or ship out a new product to a dissatisfied customer without expecting to have the negative review revised or entirely removed. Similarly, no Amazon Buyer will remove his negative Product Review without negotiating with the Seller about an incentive.

Here you can view a screenshot of Amazon’s Seller Central announcement regarding the matter:

Here is a copy of the full wording in English:

Now brand owners can address critical reviews

Drive brand loyalty and customer engagement by responding to customer reviews with three or less stars. Brand
owners can reach out to customers who have left critical reviews on their products with courtesy refunds or
provide support directly through the Customer Reviews feature in Seller Central. Customer Reviews is available
to brand owners under Brands tab on Seller Central.
Only a primary account holder can access Customer Reviews. If you are a secondary account user, reach out to
the primary account holder to request permissions though Settings > User permissions > Manage
permissions > Advertising > Customer Reviews.

I hope you found this article helpful. Many Amazon sellers recently started trading stocks and crypto currencies, hoping to diversify their income, which is a very good idea with all the uncertainty which comes with the platform. For this reason, we launched a new Facebook group, Crypto Arbitrage Income (Bitcoin, Crypto, Altcoins, Blockchain, Trading) – feel free to join us and forget about the troubles of selling on Amazon for a moment!
