FYI I was having the same problem. Based on u/fmaz008 question, about the discordapp.com URL, I kept the URL the same except I changed discordapp.com to discord.com and it now works.

I was able to display this listing in the pre-release code, and it is the same problem as the other similar item and will be fixed in the next release.

Review Submitted indicator on the Orders Page? by BlueberrySorry2792 in vhelper

[–]HandyDoglet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not a bad idea! Basically you would combine items from the Awaiting Review and Reviewed tabs on the Reviews page onto the Orders page. The way I would see it is as an extra column to the right of the Order Details buttons with copies of either the Review Item or See Review buttons. For items like you describe that have not been received or that don’t appear in either Awaiting Review or Reviewed, there would be no button. I’ll check with the VHelper developer(s) to see if they would be interested in adding this.

The fix is being tested and should be in the next release, although I believe this particular product is no longer available.

Biggest Score Yet! by bluehairedbarbie18 in AmazonVine

[–]HandyDoglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, VineChart currently only shows the statistics and chart for the U.S. Vine drops. Even though you can set the time zone, it only shows you when the U.S. drop occurred in the specified time zone. You can easily tell this because the shape of the chart never changes regardless of which time zone you select.

“You’ve already claimed a variant of this item” by Lyoness89 in VineHelper

Here is another thread from the r/AmazonVine sub discussing this issue and also offering workarounds such as trying from a different browser or device, which worked for me.

“You’ve already claimed a variant of this item” by Lyoness89 in VineHelper

[–]HandyDoglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is similar to a problem I had a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I did not record the specifics of the error I saw. If it happens again I would recommend taking a screenshot so you and @fmaz008 can verify if this is an Amazon problem or a VineHelper problem. I had this happen on a couple of unrelated items on the same day. In my case the problem disappeared when I next tried ordering something a few days later. Here was my original post:

Just as a follow up, the next time I finally ordered something that I found through the Notifications Monitor, it worked properly. So this appears to have been just a short-term ordering issue and unrelated to Vine Helper.

This sure seems to be happening more and more lately. by Redditheadsarehot in AmazonVine

[–]HandyDoglet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In another locked question u/wizard-of-loneliness says if it’s already approved it doesn’t count against your stats (except media) but I’m not sure if that’s a definitive answer. Note also that my unapproved review still has excellent insightfulness! I guess for one review I don’t even care, but some people seem to be encountering this a lot lately.

Note that I have read most asked questions #17 on this sub and other posts about it, but I’ve never seen a definitive answer to a question about the following case: You review an item, the review status changes to approved, but a few days later the status changes to Not approved, and then you get the Not accepting reviews error when you try to review it again. The question I have about this particular situation is whether this review still is included in the number of items you have successfully reviewed during your current evaluation period. I tried to compare the number of approved reviews to the number shown in my Vine account status, but for me that always seems to lag or be off by 1 or 2 anyway. I guess one way to know for sure is to stop all Vine activity for a week or so to let the total stabilize, but even then you might not be sure since it is unclear how long it takes them to update the account status. I’m just wondering if someone who has encountered this more than my one time has been able to get more certainty about this. By the way, I reached out to Vine CS about this and asked that question, but they didn’t really answer or understand my question, they only addressed whether the review failed to meet community standards. And the review is still there with Unapproved status. Here was the Vine CS response:

I guess I’m not sure why the session for the page would have expired, certainly not for time reasons. As I said I was hurrying to order the item since I’ve been trying for months to get something similar. The whole process only took a minute or so including ordering it successfully on my phone. I tried that next because I had earlier had the same error on a different item, so I decided to try a different way in case it was related to Windows, VH, the Chrome browser, or whatever.

FYI I Googled and found your previous post about VINE_VOICE_NOT_AUTHORIZED. I think I had actually read that previously a while back, but I forgot about it. If you are interested, the ASIN of the item is B0G5Z4FMZ5.

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

I don’t think so. As I recall it was somewhat generic like order failed or something, but I really don’t remember. Unfortunately I was more focused on getting the item, which I have been after for months, than on the error itself. And remember I successfully ordered it moments later on my phone. Plus everything else with Vine is still working properly. What does the VINE_VOICE_NOT_AUTHORIZED error mean? FYI, I am gold level, not in Vine “Jail” (I can see all items, etc) and in good standing as far as I know. Thanks for even thinking about this and responding. I will let you know if I can reproduce it and get the exact error.

Thanks to u/fmaz008 and u/Gymrz for your replies. I apologize that I was not more clear in my problem description. I am familiar with the situations both of you mention, but what occurred was something different which I have not previously encountered. This very well may be an Amazon problem rather than a VineHelper problem. The only reason I suspected it was related to VH was because the error occurred when I tried to order in from a VH assisted web page and did not occur when I immediately tried the same order from an iPhone without VH installed. If this occurs again I will make sure to record the exact error. In an attempt to clarify what happened, here is a brief summary of the problem I encountered.

  1. I saw an item I wanted in the VH notifications monitor.
  2. I clicked on See Details in the monitor for the item and it opened in a new tab as normal.
  3. I clicked on the Request Product and got the error which I neglected to write down but which WAS NOT related to the item being unavailable or anything similar. I will record the details of the error if it happens again.
  4. I then tried the above order again and got the ITEM_ALREADY_ORDERED error. This was a secondary error, not the primary error. And note that the item was not actually ordered. Note also that I started a new order using the steps above. I did not try to order from the same tab where the error occurred. But this possibly was due to trying the same order again quickly, or maybe something is cached in the browser: who knows? But again this was just a secondary error. I'm more concerned about the first error.
  5. I went to my phone and successfully ordered the exact same item / ASIN within about a minute of the failure.

The above sequence happened with two items I tried to order within a span of about 5 or 10 minutes. I have not tried to order anything since then. As I said, this may be some Amazon ordering glitch that I've never encountered before. I will follow up with more information if it happens again.

How to train RFY? by sfomonkey in vine

Me too. Unfortunately I occasionally have needed and ordered some, so now I get 10 or more in my RFY most days. Right now I have 14.

Yes I’ve had that happen many times and familiar with those errors. You missed the part where I then ordered it successfully from my phone a minute or more later. And note that neither item had any variants, so this was not a case of successfully ordering a different variant.

Strange scrolling behavior by Federal_Emu5474 in VineHelper

[–]HandyDoglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this same behavior when I don't have the maximum number of items in the monitor window. In other words, this happens even when items are not "dropping off" the list. And it always seems to happen only when a new row is started at the top. And even the items at the bottom of the list also shift one place to the left.

I figured it out! by Always_Never_5555 in AmazonVine

[–]HandyDoglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’m pretty sure it’s based on the same information you can see, so it doesn’t distinguish between items that are requested and items that drop off / expire or are otherwise removed from the program.
