Hello,
A buyer contacted me and asking if we do free samples and in return they can give us feedback. I am wondering if its allowed as per amazon terms and conditions? If its how can we take order ?
Many thanks in advance
In general, it is not allowed.
You are not allowed to offer free goods, samples, discounts, vouchers, etc. in exchange for product reviews or seller feedback.
However…
Amazon runs 2 official programmes which do allow this under very controlled circumstances:
The Early Reviewer program: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/early-reviewer-program/dashboard
The Vine Program: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/vine/not_authorized
The early reviewer program offers a selection of customers an Amazon discount voucher is exchange for leaving a review.
The Vine program offers free samples to a selection of Amazon’s top reviewers in exchange for reviews.
Both programs cost money, Vine requires you to be brand registered.

We’ve just had a sudden spurge of these, all from whom appear to be individuals. As suggested above, we always report the message as it does contravene the rules.
