I am curious, should this be even possible? You would have thought Amazon would have put a cap on vine reviews at 30 given that is what they sell the package as. And if you are only allowed 30 vine reviews at max given the program that means at least 27 vine voices on this listing are taking money for reviews. Which makes the suggestion that there is a high level of corruption in the vine program, as nearly 50% of these vine reviews are fake. I believe 49 of them appear basically in one month from the listing being created. It is odd that the bot would not detect such a volume of vine reviews in such a short space of time. Date first available on earliest variation is Sept 17,2024. This company's name is Hai Ke, so very Chinese (the 700 spelling mistakes suggest as much or maybe these compasses really are easy to curry) and correct me if I am wrong that means from creation of listing that is when they get to ship the product to the USA from China, or would Amazon willingly accept deliveries before the listing is created?
So really first purchase and review should be weeks later, not days. Also reviews take 3 days to be processed by the Amazon system, correct? I could be wrong on this.
And I know that the Amazon mods if they do respond will say.
"Amazon encourages sellers to report listing abuse or seller violations of Amazon's policies or applicable law. Our team thoroughly investigates all reports.
To report a violation, please visit the "Report a Violation Help Page."
or
"Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. There are variation rules that may prevent this particular type of behavior. I would recommend that you provide your report of these possible violations using the Report a Violation Form. Amazon won't be able to share the result of these investigations but they will be reviewed by the appropriate teams. Thank you."
To that I say it cannot be a good look that it says Amazon's Choice on a listing with such high level of manipulation. And in reality it is like a passerby noticing that your house (Amazon) is being defaced and then we say "Hey homeowner, there is a guy around the corner spray painting the side of your house and stealing your tires." and then the homeowner responds “Did you call the cops? I will not come out and scare off this guy spraying graff on the side of my house until you call the cops and make an official report." What kind of logic is that? All that is going to happen is the passerby is going to say "That is weird" and just keep walking and nothing will get done.
