What this notice means
Amazon prohibits attempts to manipulate customer reviews, including offering incentives for reviews, asking only happy customers to review, reviewing your own or competitors' products, and using services that provide reviews. Amazon's own programs, such as Amazon Vine and the Request a Review button, are permitted.
Notices often follow product inserts, social media groups, refund-after-review schemes or agencies that promised reviews. Appeals fail when they deny what Amazon can see or blame an unnamed third party. They succeed more often when they explain exactly what happened, end it, and show the controls now in place.
Common causes

Evidence that carries weight
- Copies of inserts, emails and messages sent to buyers
- Contracts and invoices with marketing agencies
- Records of when practices started and stopped

FAQs
Is it allowed to ask customers for reviews on Amazon?
Yes, within the rules. You can use the Request a Review button or neutral messages to all buyers. You cannot offer incentives or ask only satisfied customers.
An agency did this without my knowledge. Will Amazon accept that?
Amazon holds the seller responsible for services working on its behalf. Explain the arrangement honestly, show the agency was terminated and describe how you will vet providers in future.
Can removed reviews be restored after reinstatement?
Reviews removed for manipulation are usually not restored. Focus the appeal on the account rather than the reviews.
Is Amazon Vine allowed?
Yes. Vine is Amazon's own program and is permitted for eligible sellers.
Are you affiliated with Amazon?
No. We are an independent case preparation service with no special access to Amazon and no internal contacts. Every submission goes through the official route Amazon provides, from your own account.
Can you guarantee reinstatement?
No one can honestly guarantee an Amazon decision. We control the quality of the diagnosis, the evidence and the written response, and we tell you at the free review stage if we think the case is weak.
