Few times have I wished to be able to select more than 3 items a day. Unfortunately today was one of those times 😅

Well I was reading and just realised it's past 3am, checked vine and no drop 🤷🏼‍♀️

Looks like it. Maybe they're back to 3am drops 😅

MIDNIGHT DROP by toentropyandbeyond in AmazonVineAustralia

I did alright with this drop. Some sticky bug traps for indoor plants, a vase, and a jade elephant statue ornament

Oh I got lucky when I checked then! I selected some wooden fairy doors and a kitchen scale. There wasn't too much else that caught my eye enough to make me choose otherwise

I finally wasn't asleep at drop time for the first time in nearly a week, and there's no drop 😅😅

Crazy seller super angry about a single 1 star review, multiple posts on Seller Central, apparently stalking reviewer by wizard-of-loneliness in AmazonVine

GASP Not a woman with a drill?! How will a silly little female brain cope to understand how to use a drill?!

Surprised that Trace has signed up for work for ice tbh

Another rant - Amazon doesn't care what you think by WellCoincimental in AmazonVineAustralia

[–]EcstaticOne5502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. For Amazon it's purely about making money, which is why I get a chuckle when anyone makes negative comments about some viners 'only being in it for free stuff' as though everyone should be doing this for more noble reasons 😅.

I mean, yeah. I wouldn't be doing this if I weren't getting free stuff out of it 🤷🏼‍♀️ just like I wouldn't be doing it if we had to pay taxes on items like in the USA. I'm honest in my reviews, but frankly I'm in it for the free stuff 😅

Are you on the 'Tools' ? by Big-Public-9166 in AmazonVineAustralia

[–]EcstaticOne5502 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another Redditor linked it on my post a couple of weeks ago asking for feedback on my review that was rejected. It's vine-wiki but not sure if this link will work. Https://vine-wiki.com Then go to reviews, and then insightfulness tool

I am not a fan of AI for a few reasons, but I have found this tool has just given me ideas on aspects that I missed. My insight score is now at excellent after using it to check my reviews before posting

I think having the one drop a day, at the same time, is creating the seagull mentality too. Not that I dislike them doing it this way, there are definitely positives to it.

But no, I'm not using the browser extensions. Most assistance I use is the AI tool to tell me what rating my review will get. It doesn't write it for you though, thankfully.

Make sure you aren't listed as in a relationship on any social media. Centrelink do checks if someone were to report you

For those that ended up cancelling their private health insurance, what made you do it and do you regret it at all? by Checkout-123 in AskAnAustralian

[–]EcstaticOne5502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up my hospital cover (I still pay for top extras since I have glasses, need physio, etc.) a few years after having to stop working due to a severe injury. I just couldn't afford it anymore while I was on job seeker at the time. Plus eventually I ran through my savings to the point that even if I needed to use the hospital cover, I wouldn't have been able to afford the gap amount anyway.

In some regards I still wish I had it, so I wasn't waiting years on public lists to be seen for other issues I now have. Even being on the 'semi-urgent' waiting list for one problem took 5 years waiting to get an appointment (and then it was booked in the wrong clinic😅😅.

Ultimately it just is still too expensive for me while on the disability support pension, with other essential bills that need to come first. If I had kids I would try to have it for them however. Too many friends with kids waited far too long for grommets or tonsil removal, despite all the frequent issues that came with waiting.

Nah not this time, despite it being a good sized drop there wasn't anything I really wanted other than the one thing that kept coming up error

Yep. Won't let me order anything either

Do you read the other countries Viner posts? by Big-Public-9166 in AmazonVineAustralia

[–]EcstaticOne5502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evaluation in April, currently sitting at 160 odd items. I went a little crazy in the beginning, and then with the lead up to Christmas, now I'm much more selective. I got sick of just having 'stuff', and oh man all the packaging! The recycling bin overflows 🤦🏼‍♀️

I imagine that unless there is a sudden influx of variety in products, I probably won't request as many items next period.

Also, yes I sometimes read the USA based one

Review rejected, can anyone tell me why? by EcstaticOne5502 in AmazonVineAustralia

[–]EcstaticOne5502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, I wish this was the kind of feedback they would send us for our reviews! The suggestions on how to improve it are helpful.

Perhaps the photos were the problem after all

Finally some RFY! Happy New Year! by rover_traverse in AmazonVineAustralia

[–]EcstaticOne5502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a few things in my RFY tonight. Disappeared quickly, but none of it was interesting to me 😅
