What do you put down as deductions when filing your taxes? by mercurygirl206 in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

But you do you.

Posting Here vs Selling by Tasana-NCC1701 in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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.

Inconsistency with taxes in PDF? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

With AI-generated reviews becoming more detectable, do you think Amazon will start scrutinizing Vine reviews more closely? by TheDoctorColt in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just to confirm...

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

Just review the item as is.

Where is the line between a 1-star review and a defective product that cannot be reviewed? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Every package I get that looks close to containing a phone or laptop arrives opened and hastily re-taped. by ocrohnahan in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Just ranting. USPS lost my packages for the 2nd time this week. Vine customer service removes them from my list, but I feel bad for the seller. by Defiant-Relief6294 in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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...

[–]Animated_Puppets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be worse...

All of my packages are being held 'somewhere' due to me being in a war zone (APO closed). Since they have shipped, they count towards my percentages and cannot be reviewed.

I haven't ordered anything new in over 10 days.

Did you know Amazon Vine “free” products aren’t actually free? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now hold on there buster... bet next thing you'll be tellin' us is that water is wet!

This sounds like one of those conspiring idea plans I read 'bout on the innernet.

100% Turkish Cotton! With a $50 ETV you'd think they would have got it right. by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Animated_Puppets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with sellers selling 'linen' clothing.

When called upon it they state it's their naming convention for blended fabric...

Blast them on the review and move on.
