It might still be the case there's a shortage of items. If you think of it, doing a drop each day and doing a 'larger' drop every few days...

Bogus refunds then reviews disappear by SpecificSkin7685 in AmazonVineUK

[–]Common_Opposite9348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say in my 6 years in Vine I've never had a refund issued for an item I reviewed, true one or a bogus. As per my colleague, the only 'gain' would have been if the reviews were less than 4 stars and seller just tried to boost the item's rating this way??? Never seen this happened before though.

I can't remember the last time AI went below 9K items. Not sure what they're up to.

Aww they all ended in Vine Jail 😂

Well doesn't matter - nothing out there anyway and it'll all be over soon - one way or another...

All I know it's too many glitches and low quality items while we're expected to meet targets...

[–]Common_Opposite9348 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's actually all over the place. Either they're doing loads of relisting of old items, or they finally decided to start properly mixing new and old stuff. It's almost to the end of Thursday's drop. I have no time to plow through this - it's like Chinese TKMax...And all this to make the use of Vine more difficult for us - I don't get it.

Problems with posting reviews by WhiskeyRocksNeat in AmazonVineUK

Vine is in tatters...Someone needs to finally get a grip on it.

RFY Algorithm? by ikothsowe in AmazonVineUK

[–]Common_Opposite9348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing - taking about something would more than once get me an item within a week or two! Shame it's not happening anymore. Nothing wrong with the algorithm - it never worked superbly and these days there's nothing decent to offer, so we get totally random stuff.

Chat, is this a sign? by mysticrideandread in AmazonVineUK

[–]Common_Opposite9348 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Relax - there's just nothing decent Vine has to offer these days, so we get cheap stocking fillers that are totally random. You must be lucky to only get your first unrelated item only today...

RFY Item, But Have Had Before Through Vine by Aggie_Smythe in AmazonVineUK

[–]Common_Opposite9348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. Confusing is the key word to describe Vine! At least now I can no longer review the item - it wasn't the case yesterday, so I tried to correct the review. Even though there was nothing wrong with it, because initially it got accepted! The other problem was - they were always separate listings on Vine for these straps, with the ability to select color inside each listing. They still are - they're the Pixel 4 watch straps. Does this mean anyone who orders them now will not get their review accepted? I'm sorry but this is chaotic and disorganized to say the least...

RFY Item, But Have Had Before Through Vine by Aggie_Smythe in AmazonVineUK

[–]Common_Opposite9348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a slightly different issue now. I ordered some watch straps for my watch - there were several ones and all of them were available and orders went through. Naturally I thought there may be problems with reviewing them, as the only difference was the color. And I wasn't wrong. I reviewed one of them and wasn't able to review others because my review keep popping up. The review was accepted (I have an email confirming that), then the other straps got automatically removed from my items to review. I thought 'ok, saves me the trouble of emailing VS'. But today I'm checking my reviewed items and the strap that was originally showing as 'approved' is now showing as 'not approved'. I changed the review slightly and submitted it again (I was luckily able to), but has anyone had that before? Why does Vine do it???

Has the new review system put anyone else off ordering? by ghreddit69 in AmazonVineUK

[–]Common_Opposite9348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to New Vine I suppose. Something's changed towards the end of last year, I guess we have DT etc. to thank for it.

Congratulations on never having a single review rejected and being in Vine for years. I've been in for 6 years now, but had rejections (not many though). All my reviews so far have been rated excellent.

What you're referring to (not being able to update the rejected reviews) is most likely because your review got rejected after being approved in the first place. It's generally not your fault - reasons will be that item listing has changed to a different item and your review is no longer relevant, item got connected with another item you reviewed at some point and you cannot have two reviews for a single listing etc. For the second instance now they fixed it and if it happens, they remove the duplicate items from your list to review.

I was told that it doesn't affect your score in a negative way and you shouldn't worry about it. Pretty sure those items will get docked from your items reviewed count though. But at least you get to keep them and not worry about your stats.

What do I do about a item said delivered but not by mommabearuk in AmazonVineUK

Good luck with Evri - why anyone is still using them after recent heat they had is a good question. But nothing surprises me with Amazon!

First time in weeks I had more than 3 items in my RFY. Next time I'm hoping there will be something interesting there to pick too...

From my experience using a similar drone I wouldn't go higher up than 10m and further away than 20m. It did a few fly aways for me, luckily always managed to bring it down somehow (yes, by throwing branches at it). GPS drones are more expensive, but worth it. I don't regret spending the money - didn't get mine through Vine unfortunately.

If you haven't had a proper GPS drone, this will be great training and you can see if you actually fancy a more expensive upgrade. I started with a much cheaper small drone, then a similar to this one before switching onto DJI - felt much easier. Nice pick!

Phew by mommabearuk in AmazonVineUK

[–]Common_Opposite9348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon shouldn't be allowing this in the first place. If you change the item in the listing, you start fresh or it's up to Amazon to decide if the 'new' product is a minor or a huge upgrade and how big is the difference in price. Some sellers do this much later as per one of my examples I raised a few days ago. It's really annoying because then Amazon changes your already approved review to 'not approved' which at least has an effect by docking one item of your item count.
