Can’t Submit Amazon Review [resolved]

Hello I am being told I am required to submit an Amazon review in a book I read. Payment is pending on this review and I’m sure will be held and denied without the Amazon review posted. Unfortunately, I did not purchase this book on Amazon as I got a free pdf version on the OBC app. Since the book was not purchased, I am unable to write an Amazon review.
Additionally, I am waiting on my initial payment from a book that was reviewed and submitted months ago.
Please advise

I'm having the same issue and you can't talk to a human here. It's upsetting.

I am also having an issue with Amazon review. I submitted the review with Amazon but they haven’t approved it yet. I am being asked to give the link to prove I did the review but Amazon hasn’t posted yet. Not sure what to do?

You just have to wait it out. Amazon takes some time to publish reviews. Unfortunately, your accounts gets “frozen” , and you are unable to do anything about it. Hope it gets resolved soon.

I have posted a review and shared the link of the review as well but they keep saying that they are unable to see my review. I don't know what to do.

Good to know it's not just me. I downloaded a PDF version of a book too, and amazon is not allowing me to post a review because I have not purchased the book. But the book is not available for purchase in my country. So not sure how I'd post the review. Wish someone would figure out a way to circumvent this issue. I could just post on goodreads, but that profile is somehow not connected to OBC.

Hello. You can still leave an Amazon review even if you didn't buy the book. Just search for the book on Amazon, click on the ratings, and you'll see an option for "review this product." But first, you must be eligible to leave Amazon reviews, that is, you must have spent $50 on Amazon in the last 12 months.

Hello. You mean you searched the book and didn't find it on Amazon? To leave a review on Amazon you must have spent at least $50 on Amazon. Have you reached that amount? If not checkout this post viewtopic.php?f=132&t=346882

Hi, thanks for the response. Although helpful, I still don’t have the answer as to why I cannot receive my approved credit if the *optional* Amazon review is not posted.
If I have no intention of posting an optional Amazon review, how can I receive my earnings?

That may be because: 1. You marked that you have submitted an amazon review, or 2. In your preference setting https://forums.onlinebookclub.org/revie ... rences.php you marked that you're eligible to leave an amazon review and have to change

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. May I know what you mean by 'optional Amazon review'? Are you saying it was not a special requirement at the time you selected the book? If so, have you tried updating your Preferences to reflect that you cannot leave an Amazon review?

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day.

Thank you.
