A large number of Amazon sellers are losing reviews like crazy. Is a new round of rectification coming?

Seller reviews plummet after international reviews merged

In the past two weeks, many Amazon sellers have encountered problems with merging international reviews. After summarizing the various feedback from sellers, the editor found that there are mainly two situations ↓

Some sellers wanted to synchronize reviews but couldn’t find a way, and some sellers lost most of their reviews after merging international reviews, and their sales also dropped ...

It's really like that if there is drought, there will be drought to death, and if there is flood, there will be flood to death ... As expected, Amazon may be late in doing things, but it will never be absent.

Some sellers said that recently the number of reviews for two products has changed after the international reviews were merged. The number of merged international reviews is not displayed, only the number of local reviews is displayed.

There are also sellers whose product reviews in Canada and the United States are still being shared, but the star ratings are not added up. If bad reviews come in, they cannot be stopped. In the long run, can the listing remain strong?

Regarding the merging of international reviews, the most direct reflection is that the number of reviews has dropped severely recently.

Seller A: There were more than 900 reviews for a product on the European site , but more than 500 reviews dropped in just a few days, and the sales ranking has been falling. Although there are also reviews from Spain and Italy under the product on the German site, the number has also dropped to almost the same level. Is this a merger for nothing?

Seller B: The number of reviews for some products dropped by thousands at once. Many of my peers have encountered this problem recently. Could this be a precursor to changes in Amazon's review policy?

Seller C: This problem occurs on some products on the European site. The total number of reviews is reduced, but the reviews on this site are actually all there.

Seller D: I'm just guessing that this is the trend. I feel that Amazon is going to reorganize and merge international reviews. Now this problem has only occurred on a few sites, and it may be globalized in the future.

Is Amazon starting to regulate reviews again?

Some sellers have suffered greatly from losing reviews due to merging international reviews. At the same time, there are also sellers who wanted to boost product sales by merging international reviews but failed.

The seller said that he had found a service provider to do it, but the merged reviews were deleted after two weeks. The service provider was also helpless, saying that Amazon was frantically deleting data recently and the reviews could not be uploaded ...

There are also sellers who want to share the reviews of a product on the UK site to the Japanese site. After uploading the same ASIN on the UK site, there is still no movement on the reviews after waiting for 5 days.

Many sellers have a lot of questions about all the above issues. After opening a case and asking customer service, they almost got the same reply - the system randomly grabs the data.

There are also some reasonable speculations, for example, could it be that the previous service provider’s operations were too crazy and Amazon had to take action?

Judging from the rumors in recent times, Amazon may be in the process of rectification. Sellers should try their best to avoid falling into the trap of merging international reviews and not be the little leeks who follow one after another.

Moreover, before Prime Day and peak season every year, Amazon will launch a wave of severe crackdowns, and this may just be one of the storms.
