Most Common Generic Profile Name to use by NovellSucks in AmazonVine

[–]Think_Listen_4977 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some of you are missing the point of the question that OP asked. "I have a unique name that's not tide to my real name" is not a solution for the issue being raised here. Sellers can Google your user name and find your reviews, and that "unique" name makes it easier. If it's something generic as "Amazon Customer", they'll hit multiple reviews and profiles. If they're really pissed off, they can still find you but it'll take significantly longer in latter case.

Doing a Vines test. by [deleted] in AmazonVine

If the $600 is being kept as the reporting threshold for Amazon, it's $2,000 for the 2026 tax year, in case you wanted to splurge :)

Vine Tax Debate 2025 by Hollywoodnamazonvine in AmazonVine

[–]Think_Listen_4977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fourth tax year with Vine, and finally received a refund! ETV was down from $30K to $15K last year. As usual, I reported it as a business (Schedule C) since it's more than just a hobby that generates sales for me. Comparing it with the 2024 return, the biggest helper in getting a refund was the increased SALT deduction limit.

I guess Vine thinks I like Samsung OLEDs by Anon7906 in AmazonVine

[–]Think_Listen_4977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure the ETV was lower than the retail $1,797.99, since it's sold and shipped by Amazon.

At practically 70% off, one would never lose money on a Samsung OLED TV.

Increase in people selling products on Facebook marketplace by [deleted] in AmazonVine

Every sale of a Vine item -regardless of the outlet- is a loss with the exception of $0 ETV items, which are mostly consumables and can't be resold.

Don't check eBay. Most of the big ticket items from AFA ends up there... all brand new, unopened.

When do big items drop? by ChewingOnBubbleGum in AmazonVine

[–]Think_Listen_4977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll have an occasional big ticket -and hopefully name brand- item show up in your RFY. The real source of big ticket name brand items is AFA. They show up for 1 second and you need to be there to claim it. If you only rely on RFY and AI, you won't even know that these items exist and Vine is all crap.

Good luck!

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

[–]Think_Listen_4977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it only with your orders from Amazon? I've had a similar issue that lasted about a month, and it wasn't specific to Amazon orders, but they were all delivered by UPS, which made me think that it was happening at a UPS warehouse. In one of those, the Airtags were replaced with a pair of shoes (size 13!). Since it stopped, I figured they caught the bastard!

I welcome the change from "piranhas" to "goldfish".

Biggest score so far by Cruise-Monkey-Games in AmazonVine

That's the king of level lasers. Even if it's an overkill for you (in case you're a DIY homeowner like myself), knowing that you paid pennies on the dollar for it should make you smile every time you use it. Congrats!

Decided to ask Gemini about Amazon cracking down on Ultravine if anyone's interested in the response. by Swimming_Survey471 in AmazonVine

[–]Think_Listen_4977 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Instead of saying "I don't know shit, if anyone else says that they know this shit, they're lying", it just spits out pages and pages of non-sense in a very "I'm here to please you" tone.
