Have You Ever Experienced This!!

Post by Joule Mwendwa »

Hello everyone! I recently reviewed a book on Amazon, and for the first time, my review was rejected with this comment: "We apologize but Amazon is not accepting reviews on this product from this account."

Has anyone ever experienced the same, and what might be the cause or solution? I adhered to all their community guidelines.

This is strange. It never happened with me.
The only reason that comes to mind is that the item is probably delisted from Amazon but in that case it should not be present there.

I'm new here and it's a bit scary to think that something like that could might happpen. Because I'm putting a lot of hardwork and dedication in the first book that I'm reading to review. There should be some sort of clarification for why that happened.
But that's the irony, broken people are not fragile.

Hi Joula
I've had the same issue with Amazon. Have you been able to resolve the problem? I currently have outstanding issues on my history tab for two book reviews that Amazon has rejected. Since then, I've been trying to reach out to Amazon by email to their Appeals team and through their chat line, but for some unknown reason, nobody can give me an explanation as to why my reviews have been rejected. All their guidelines have been followed.
At the moment I have two unpaid reviews that have already been published (but rejected by Amazon), and another two unpaid reviews for the books I read after the first two were rejected (reviews accepted by Amazon). In other words, it looks like I'm not going to be paid for 4 reviews and I'm also told by the OBC moderators that I might be banned.
Please reply as soon as possible.

You aren't alone. This happened to me too. This happened to me with one book Amazon rejected but I was already paid for the review. Amazon rejected the review and then i got penalized points with board warnings even though I contacted the review team and tried to explain. Amazon didn't get back to me. You can change your preferences until this is resolved. With changed preferences and posted Amazon reviews, you just need to provide links to dispute and OBC will correct it. Unfortunately there is no link for rejected reviews.
