How is it remotely useful for the next person if you leave a 1 star review on a product on Amazon because it got lost in the mail? That has nothing to do with the product.

It's extremely useful. The next person should know that they might get scammed.

Your experience with USPS or whatever has zero relevance to whether the next person is going to receive their package. If the seller isn't helpful resolving the issue, leave them a negative review. But it makes no sense to review the product negatively.

People aren't complaining about USPS it's about the scam listings with obvious fake reviews. Half the time the review pictures don't even match the product because the sellers have some scam going on that somehow is OK with Amazon. That Amazon won't let me leave a warning to the next user makes Amazon an accomplice in the fraud. I've just started leaving fake 1 star reviews of the product since Amazon loves fake reviews anyway.

Sorry but the down votes won't stop me from leaving negative reviews on Amazon, I owe it to my fellow shoppers.

Are you aware you can review sellers separately from the products?

You replied to a comment about products being lost in the mail.

Sure, leave a bad review on the seller NOT THE PRODUCT. You can leave feedback about sellers separate from the product.

> If I pay for something and don't receive it then I'm leaving a bad review.

Exactly, leave a bad review. But leave it at the right place so that this review will have an impact.

Say you buy a new car at Honda and the salesperson scams you. You would not go on a car review website and review the Civic with "1 star, the salesperson was corrupt". You would call the dealership and tell them "this salesperson is crap" or you would call Honda headquarter and tell them "this dealership is ruining your name".

Why would this be different on Amazon? When a marketplace gives you a bad experience, you review the marketplace itself or the seller. Not the product, the company who makes the product has no control over the marketplace.
