I spent over £1000 on Amazon Vine Reviews So You Dont Have To

How much capital do you need to start selling on amazon, do you recommend setting up as a sole trader or LLC?

Good job I’ve never paid for vine reviews. People leaving 1 star is shameless!

Great video, some people cant be pleased.

Very ungrateful people leaving Vine reviews. They just want to nitpick and the worst is when they ding the product over price when the price of the product is not a secret to the buyer. Of course, Amazon allows its sellers to be abused with no recourse. Sellers should have the option to remove upto 50 reviews on a product with no questions asked.

Vine reviewer here with a news flash: WE PAY TAXES ON THIS GARBAGE. Up to 25%, in fact. So you aren't giving anything away for free and we HAVE NO OPTION TO RETURN. That's right, if we don't like something there is no option to have it removed from our tax report so we are basically PAYING to review whatever rebranded Chinese products you flood the site with and getting nothing out of it. In fact, sometimes companies will strait up use Vine as market research or price manipulation and reviewers have ZERO RECOURSE.

Furthermore, if you join Vine with intent of turning into a side hussle then searching, curating, reviewing, storing, and selling this stuff is legitimate part time work. So if someone complains that an item is 'smaller than it looks' then maybe that's on you for not using photos that make the size clear via context. If you use a coupon instead of putting it on sale (the former has no impact on the items Estimated Tax Value) then you get an automatic critical review from me saying it's overpriced. And so on. Don't like it? Do better research before joining the program. Talk to some Vine reviewers.

Another issue is that anything decent gets snatched within seconds, so if you want good picks sometimes you have to order it as soon as you see it without stopping to read the listing. Does that seem unfair to you? Well, your fault for joining the hustle without understanding the game or the players. If you are a VIne seller then it's on YOU to make sure the product, photos, title, and description is as perfect as humanly possible. If you want fewer bad reviews (some which, I admit, are just hot takes from people who couldn't care less) then talk to Amzon about changing the return policy. From out perspective, Amazon gives waaaaay more of a damn about the sellers than it does the reviewers.

Look, I'll give a product a fair and detailed review but if you mess up because you didn't bother finding out what even constitues messing up . . . that's on you.

Wait . . . did you just admit to having other sellers manipulate your reviews for you? Where the f-ck do you get off complaining about anything?

I'm sorry to hear that somebody gave you a bad review because of the packaging. Amazon Vine's policies explicitly calls out that they do not allow reviews to focus on things like shipping and packaging. Hopefully if this person has been making a habit of giving bad reviews for "non-ecofriendly" packaging they have been removed from the program.
