Does Amazon notify you when they remove one of your reviews?

I've done numerous reviews over the years and have never got such a notication, but your comment has me wondering if my reviews are still there!

No, and they'll remove your ability to leave reviews at all if they keep getting taken down.

They do. It’s always a catch all “violation of our policies” and very rarely a real reason.

That's the other nefarious thing. I would never had known the Airbnb review was removed if I didn't go back and check. And I started to doubt my own memory!

Amazon did notify me my review got yanked.
