Seller offering gift cards for FAKE feedbacks
Hi,
This year I had a new seller in my category started, he get 500+ feedbacks in 2-3 month time, and people wrote in the reviews, that he offered them £20-£50 gift cards for 5* feedback. and also sending gift cards to people who leave bad feedback, so they can change reviews.
I took a lot of screenshots of those reviews and sent them to Amazon, but still, no action is taken.
Just want to know if any advice. or anyone has been in the same situation, As this is clearly an Amazon T&Cs violation, and I am afraid other sellers will start doing it as well if this is not stopped.

It happens, have seen it, Reported it and i know other sellers have received goods with the same and reported - and yet they are all still trading
This is one of those occasions one rule for us and different for others. Nothing you can do but concentrate on what your doing.

Sadly its very common, even more annoying when you get them in FBA products.
I’ve reported them to Amazon, but I am not sure anything is ever done
Same issue as ever - I really don’t think Amazon care about much anymore, not even buyers by the looks

We noticed the same seven five star feedbacks for a book it appears they all know the author
Summary Feedback
- Amazing Book
- Havent read the book but gave it 5 stars,
- Good read
- Fantastic
- Really enjoyed it
- Good Story
- Highly recommended
None of the feedback made no references to what they liked about book or any references to story or nothing.
I purchased several items when I was a prime member was offered a financial incentive if a edited the review from a three star to a 5 star for a electric toothbrush which had no real moving parts but a tinny vibration on the teeth.
