Amazon Reviews: How We Spot the Fakes

Sellers also game the system by offering a refund, without requiring a return, in exchange for reverting a bad review. I've reported this to Amazon but they weren't receptive.

This isn't really 'gaming' the system. It's good customer service. Even one Bad Amazon review can be death to a business on Amazon.

I think it's a little ridiculous that so much power is given to many buyers that only want to take out their anger on someone, even if it isn't really the fault of the seller.

I used to be an Amazon seller and quit because so many people would leave negative feedback over unrealistic expectations.

It seems to be the M.O. of the millennial generation.

Maybe you could game their gaming of the system by ordering the product on multiple accounts and writing bad reviews of it and get all of they sent you for free.

So change the review, get your refund, then change the review again to write about what happened.
