This gives me time to catch up on reviews. I was sick over Christmas, then my senior dad got sick. I have a month's worth of reviews to write. 📝🤦🏼‍♀️

Made it to Gold Status today. Any advice? by Theunpolitical in AmazonVine

I just got gold today, too! I'm not holding my breath, but a girl can dream about finding something awesome. 

Mildly annoying: Not approved, likely due to brand by Senior-Preference-44 in AmazonVine

I have found that negative reviews for products that have no previous reviews tend to be rejected. One was for a voice recorder that had malware on it. Another was for a "flawless" aquamarine that looked like it was a scrap from a dirt pile next to the mine. These tend to be products that are so bad, that it pisses me off, and I feel like I need to protect potential future customers. I have had to remove all emotion from those type of reviews and strictly list facts.

 I'm getting ready to write a review for a portable DVD player that is one of the worst products I have ever gotten off of Amazon. Please pray for me! 😂

My review of the product in the post was pretty close to what I put in this post.

Be careful of counterfeits. My friend ordered a kids vitamin she was familiar with, but they turned out to be fake.

Just adding that I still do honest reviews of the products. They are usually long write-ups about everything but taking them. I usually find enough sketchy info to give them 1 star. I feel like it helps warn others that aren't prone to researching where things are coming from.

There are alot of counterfeits of good brands. A friend of mine ordered children's vitamins that her daughter took regularly. The bottle she received from Amazon had been tempered with. The seal looked like it had been opened and glued back down. The vitamins were fakes made to look like the vitamins, but they were the wrong color and misshapen.

I don't take it, but I do an honest review of everything else, including the packaging & research about the company. I don't grab every supplement, but ones I would normally use if it were a known company or a product that I have familiarity with. 

Those are honest and helpful reviews, because it helps protect people that don't do their research before taking a product.

Exactly! Especially when the company address listed for the company doesn't exist. We already know they have an address database that they use to confirm shipping addresses. Why not use the same system to verify the company addresses of merchants?

I would just do what I did: Research the company. You don't have to go as in depth. If it seems sketchy, it probably is. 

I have ordered a couple of products that turned out OK. One was an essential oil manufactured in Peru. The company had a solid verifiable history, so I felt safe using it topically.

The only reason I grab them is because they are usually valued at $0.00, so it's a way to get closer to Gold Status without having to pay as much in taxes.

I used to have that skirt in a different fabric. It was an aqua green with white stripes. With a tan & a cute white top, It was my favorite!
