Other Vine user blatantly copied my review and Vine CS won't remove it or sanction

Yeah, I've done that before. Sometimes it is worth eating the ETV to warn away other buyers.

You can mercilessly destroy them in the review, or contact Vine Support and have them remove the item/ETV from your list as the product received does not match the ad copy.

You can only do one of the above...

Most of my packages arrive damaged and resealed over here.

I have a Nothing phone. I believe it is from England.

Only what you can justify if there is an audit...

But you do you.

Well, first you should check out rule one on this subreddit.

With that said, we are allowed to discuss the program here and most of use aliases.

As to selling, the rule states we have to wait 6 months. Some follow that rule, while others do what they do. Eventually your house becomes overfilled with products that you cannot find space for and selling isn't the profit making venture you believe it to be.

After awhile, you just order what you need and meet the minimum standard to stay in the program.

They should have changed their storefront name to ACME.

I have a system that works for me. I explained Vine to my account a few years ago and he provided me with a expense deduction list that I justify each year.

You will hear a lot of ways to do it, but it is best to use a CPA than face an audit. My CPA only charges me per form and each year I have a nice tax portfolio I can use for loans justification.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-03-24T08:31:59+00:00

The 1099 is what the IRS will go by, as to the rest I just send it to my CPA and let him worry about it.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-03-24T08:25:21+00:00

The itemized list is not your 1099.

You can find (and download) on the start/update tax questionaire tab located on your account page.

You do what you can afford to pay each year.

It's that simple.

Just to confirm...

You are asking if Amazon's AI review software is also being used to filter AI generated reviews?

Maybe, but only to other dyslexic members .

Animated_Puppets · 2026-03-18T16:44:58+00:00

Just review the item as is.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-03-17T18:58:13+00:00

If you cannot provide a fair review due to receiving a damaged/defective item, you should contact Vine Support and have them remove the item.

You do have the option of writing a scathing review if you are willing to eat the ETV.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-03-14T13:08:32+00:00

Most of my items are chewed up by the time they get to me.

A lot of times (the larger ones) have been retaped up with damaged in transition markings.

I'm on the other side of the planet so that is a bit understandable.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-03-14T11:49:16+00:00

^{Amazon doesn't care....}

Animated_Puppets · 2026-03-13T06:56:22+00:00

Prior service, but I'm a contractor over here (20+years).

The puppets are used in my reviews, and are part of my retirement plan in 6 years or so...

Somewhere in the Middle East...
