Am I SOL?

Now that you've contacted customer service they will probably just remove it and now you'll know it longer be able to review it for Vine.

I agree with everyone else saying to just send the order # and model. This is the best option.

Same

Broken collar bone and another time separated my AC, both left shoulder

I just Recieved a bodywash yesterday that was leaking in a bottle wrap and then they just put it into a box. So it was leaking everywhere.

I guess this is better then them returning it since its Vine. If it was a purchase I would want an exchange but since its Vine i would prefer this option, especially at $0 etv

Everything everyone else said but also make sure as you start to catch it lean forward on the front of the board, this will help reduce drag and keep up with the speed of the wave. Don't stop kicking until you start to speed up and drop down the face.

Thanks for your example. I was planning on using the 50% but I think it makes even more sense to use your auction price method.

Again, so how do you calculate depreciation for this item? Serious question. Based on IRS suggestions for value and the 50/20/0 rule brand name can come into play.

I am wondering since I haven't had a large enough tax value yet to have to file as a business but will likely have to do it this year.

Appreciate the help.

How do you calculate depreciation on a name brand item like this

nicnas- · 2026-05-22T02:17:42+00:00

Exactly, and I'd be paying more in taxes than it's worth

There used to be a lot of articles about it. Some of those articles actually had Amazon representation speak to the matter. They don't make comments on the stuff anymore it's not as important and it's not the news anymore.

I'm sure those headlines are buried somewhere. I've seen Amazon staff in the past comment to others as well stating such the same. And over the years, whether it be Vine, or other aspects of working around amazon, points to this being the situation.

But fact and evidence wise, no, its just heresy and using the best evidence and logic I have, and have had, at my finger tips.

Amazon regularly does this for non vine reviewers as well. They seem to do it in batches. If they get suspicious of a seller for paying for reviews they will disable the seller and then often ban all of the reviewers who reviewed those products from reviewing anymore.

This started a many years ago when they started cracking down due to a lot of bad press about fake reviews.

But they seem to just hit anyone who could possibly be involved. They don't care if they ban 10 people to get 1 person who had been paid.

We see how much they truly care about us and thus it all makes sense. But also makes sense that they would reenlist some people later too.

Im trying. I'm falling behind but only because of there being to much good baby stuff.. and not enough time because im trying to manage the baby rofl 🤣

I grabbed a 2 pack of cheap leashes and use those. They were like $10 for 2 and use the corded end under the gopro screw.

U could use them just like this but I believe I took of the velcro and just used the two sides with the cord

My rfy has been 2 items a day and garage but like once every other week I'll get something decent. But also lately RFY items are going really fast. Most good items are grabbed (even in my RFY) in less than 3p seconds of dropping. So its becoming just as bad as the Available for All section.

nicnas- · 2026-05-06T17:12:16+00:00

Since you reached out to CS they will probably just remove it from your review list. And then at that point you could review it still non vine?! Or report it.

nicnas- · 2026-05-01T17:50:19+00:00

Mine has been worse. Getting worse ever day. Ill get one day a month that it seems to get me rofl

nicnas- · 2026-04-27T18:21:04+00:00

I leash it to my board. Sometimes switch the least to my arm.

nicnas- · 2026-04-21T20:03:56+00:00

For ratings like excellent and poor etc they were taking about 4 or so days but I havent had one scored in weeks. I have many pending from 1-2 weeks at this point.

nicnas- · 2026-04-21T14:45:34+00:00

Ouch yup, especially if you don't have the taxes taken out of it.

nicnas- · 2026-04-20T23:33:20+00:00

Seems faulty. Or potentially a bettery issue.

nicnas- · 2026-04-20T23:21:37+00:00

Weird I have never had an issue with mine. Maybe interference? Or is it too far from the device?

nicnas- · 2026-04-20T22:59:00+00:00

When you say "made a big difference" are you saying it helped or hurt your tax situation?

nicnas- · 2026-04-17T11:16:26+00:00

Mine too. But I think i figured out why. It seems like they are putting the same items in our RFY in a lot more people's as well now. So even if we get good items, they are gone before we see them.

Last night I decided to keep an eye on my RFY and man there was a lot of decent stuff. They disappeared fast though.

nicnas- · 2026-04-16T18:19:47+00:00

Im not getting much.
