Dear Members,
We received 2 notification’s today with regards to ‘Suspecious customer review activity’. The notification does mention ’ no impact on account health’. I am concernd on the nature of the notification and need help to understand the implications of the notification. ( 1 of the Notification pasted below).
The notification does not appear on my account health ’ [Customer Product Reviews Policy Violations]’
I have spoken to seller support (via Call me feature), however the advisor advised to reply to the email asking for more clarification. The explanation given was generic and speific to my notication.
- Does this imply I have violated ‘Customer product reviews policies’ - I do not use any TP software for revieIw , any other s/w and manage my a/c myself to no staff access.
- Is this is a generic message about the listing.
- I do not send any messages to customers for feedback and all my sales are via FBA.
Has anyone receievd a similar notifcation, what is the best was to deal with the notifcation ?
Kind Regards,
GT-UK
