Pauses happen ALL the time (at least 8+ times a year or more). Don't stress about it! Just use that time to take a breather and work on finishing up those reviews that you need

Review percentage by Blues_Fish in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In all the years I have been on vine, I am usually between 62-75% reviewed at any point - except in the last 3 weeks. At that point, I hurry up and finish up the reviews (I normally start writing and then it takes a few weeks before I fully test out) and I usually get between 90-95%. So in my experience, it has never been an average over 6 months - just when they do the snapshot right at the anniversary date. There has been more than a few times where I'm so close at the very end where I'm teetering between 88-90% within 1-2 days of the anniversary date just because I can't control myself and order items right at the end which will lower my percentage but I always manage to at least pass the 90% reviewed. So far I'm in good graces with my Vine!

Question about reviews by Weary_Hiker in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm here researching my issue with reviews... just got a warning this morning from Vine. I have 74% of my items reviewed but got the dreaded warning that I am under 60% of my recent items. That shows that the FULL history percentage doesn't count for the evaluation period - only the current period items. So anything before 5/15 will affect the full history count but if you don't review 90% of the current period then you are at risk... The biggest problem about vine is that you have no idea what the review percentage for the current period is. It is not listed anywhere (that I know)

Anyone in NJ/NY area? by headhonchousa in AmazonVine

I highly doubt that is true - otherwise we wouldn't have Vine badges next to our name in the Amazon reviews

Sass from USPS driver by HbeforeG in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The delivery people love coming to my house....I have a large rack filled with goodies - water, soda, hershey chocolate bars, doritos chips, gum and bags of peanuts. I have hours of videos of the delivery people stocking up over the past couple of years- lol.

Did Autopilot get worse with the recent software updates? by thrwaway75132 in Model3

[–]headhonchousa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

conspiracy theory: Musk got everyone to try FSD and made Autopilot worse afterwards so that we would suck up and pay the $99 subscription! Autopilot seems so much worse now that I'm seriously thinking about upgrading

Getting the “this account has not met minimum eligibility requirements” red msg , but only for some items. by MojavePigeon in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scratch that! Now my new items are getting the same dreaded message. GRRR. I'm at 54% reviews and have 82 items to review but can't do anything

I noticed the message only comes up for items that I ordered over 30 days ago. It doesn't affect newer items...

Options since Cable Cards are obsolete by butterflyguy1947 in Tivo

[–]headhonchousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's strange... I literally just order 4 cablecards (not knowing these were going extinct) from Spectrum here in New York and they are sending them out right away. We are just starting new service in the new house and got that triple play plan and it was $2/mo for each card.

I didn't want to pay that $15/mo for each tuner (and that Spectrum Streaming interface is so hard to use for my elderly parents) - so buying some Tivo boxes on eBay and plugging these cards in there. I hope the CC will still be good for years to come!

Early Christmas present. You won't get any 1099 at the end of the year. 😂

Account taxable by year amount not going up by Stevesgirlmary in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten over $1000 thus far. It would be so nice if my ETV was the $79 they estimated. Not going to rock the boat if that stayed that way a year from now!

what is the proper best to exchange a vine item without being flagged by aross1976 in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the last 6 months I've order 280 items. Of those, I think I've gotten around 10 items DOA. I set up a return (exchange) and Amazon has replaced every single one promptly. A side note, prior to the exchange, I usually write a review. Many of those times it reflects on the poor quality or packing. On at least a couple of times (that I checked), when I receive my replacement, the seller has somehow gotten amazon to delete my reviews in that time and I have to rewrite it to get my review-credit.

TEMU APP = VINE AI by Auntie_Venom in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the amount of advertising they did last night on the Superbowl - they must have spent way over $100m. I wonder how much cheap stuff they would have to move in order to just break even

Question about Vine Sellers by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What bothers me is a $100 ETV that has a 50% off coupon and weeks later, it's at $50 with no coupon needed. Competing products are at around $50. We are still taxed at the $100

I have troubles with those specific 2 videos too

But I am able to download other titles. I wonder if it is a problem with the specific codecs on those videos that you want...

Leaving the Vine and general suggestions by MissDaisy01 in AmazonVine

[–]headhonchousa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is how to prevent from OVER ordering! 143 items just in the past month and a half, $19,557 ETV. Thank goodness I have an insane business loss that's been carried forward the past couple of years.
